Hi Itai, there's no built-in setting for that, and I don't think themes on the add-ons site can modify it, either.

That leaves the community-supported option of using a custom style rule in an optional userChrome.css file.

Have you already set up a userChrome.css file? If it's completely new to you, I have a website with general information about it: https://www.userchrome.org/

What colors were you thinking of?

Hi jscher2000, I tried to add the code below to the userChrome.css file, but with no success of seeing any change.

.statuspanel-label { background: #131314 !important; color: #2D2D2D !important; /*background: #1E1E1E !important;*/ /*font-size: 13pt !important;*/ /*font-weight: normal !important;*/ /*color: darkslateblue !important;*/ }''

Hi, it's an id attribute, not a class name, so:

#statuspanel-label {
  background: #131314 !important;
  color: #2D2D2D !important;
}

However, there's not enough contrast between those colors so it's not readable, at least for me.

These seem to be the built-in colors on Windows (regular and dark system theme):

@media (-moz-windows-default-theme) {
  #statuspanel-label {
    background-color: #f9f9fa;
    color: #444;
  }
}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  #statuspanel-label {
    background-color: hsl(240, 1%, 20%);
    border-color: hsl(240, 1%, 40%);
    color: rgb(249, 249, 250);
  }
}

any suggestions for Ubuntu? it's not readable for me.

What colors do you want?

I found this pretty comfortable:

1. statuspanel-label {

 background: #00061c !important;
 color: #c2c2c4 !important;

}

@media (-moz-windows-default-theme) {

 #statuspanel-label {
   background-color: #00061c;
   color: #c2c2c4;
 }

}

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {

 #statuspanel-label {
   background-color: #00061c;
   color: #c2c2c4;
 }

}

but now I would like to change the status bar border from white to dark as well. see picture.

I think you only need the one with !important, so try:

#statuspanel-label {
  color: #c2c2c4 !important; /* light text */
  background-color: #00061c !important; /* dark background */
  border-color: #00061c !important; /* dark border */
}
