Browser Dark Mode (Chrome and Firefox) ======================================================================== Dark Mode luckily has become a thing also in the non-unix world. Finally browser can be used with dark interfaces and websites can have alternative color schemes. However, in other operating systems, there is a global toggle for dark mode, which also switches the browser into it. This is not the case on linux and unix systems. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Chrome / Chromium / Iridium | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Chrome and Chromium starting with version 73 can be tought to start in dark mode: $ chrome --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode Then go to chrome://settings/?search=themes and switch the theme to "Classic". +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Firefox | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Firefox got the dark mode in release 70. 0. Go to "about:config" 1. Enter "ui.systemUsesDarkTheme" into the search bar 2. Click "Number" and then "+" 3. Enter "1" and click the check mark Right click on a free spot in the icon bar and select "customize". At tthe bottom left of the screen, you can switch to a dark theme. Note: If you've set privacy.resistFingerprinting to "true" the CSS dark mode switching won't work. Kudus to @andinus@tilde.zone for figuring tthis out. There you go, both browsers are in dark mode now. The UI should be dark and also websites that support the @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) directive should make use of it. You can test it on my webpage (https://codevoid.de). The light version has a light gray background and a blue font. The dark version has a dark gray background and an orange font. vim-browser (vimb) ================== $ echo "set dark-mode=true" >> $HOME/.config/vimb/config # Changelog: # * 2020-05-17: Created # * 2020-12-04: Added vimb |
