Hi! I have the same problem. userContent.css solves problem partially - I still get many elements look different from origin, as I'm web developer - that is very important for me to see all elements "as they are"
The question i still: is there a way to make firefox use ONLY it's default settings, and not to use KDE colours?
Thanx!

Html clients (browsers) always bring a stock css - often if not usually configurable by users.
As a webwhatever you CAN NOT RELY ON THAT CSS AT ALL!

You got to style what you want to style and unless the client css has some !important's you'll get what you asked for.
If the client has a global css containing !important entries, that's the clients or users problem.

~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/chrome/userContent.css is FFs stock global css (probably on top of some /usr/share/apps/mozilla/firefox/whatnot)

Look, all I want - to get FF look as it has to (as chromium does), no matter what styles I use in system.

I don't use FF (which is actually neither a KDE application but from a WM perspective one of the most nasty clients ever), but you can control the local look as mentioned.
If you however design webpages, than just do it right. FF, Chrome, Opera, Qupzilla, Konqueror, younameit do not *have* to look like anything.

I am not sure, you understand what I mean..

here is how I see firebug, e.g.
there are a lot of such things that make my use of FF with dark KDE theme impossible.
Please, if you do not want or do not know how to solve this problem - do not advise me use it like it is now - this solution I know already.
Thanx!

That's ~/.mozilla/firefox/xxx.default/chrome/userChrome.css to override stuff in the theme jar (don't forget !important)

And it really didn't seem to me as if you were talking about the GUI but about the content only. ("webdeveloper", "usercontent.css" -> content)

Thanx! Where I can copy default example? cause, I don't know what styles should be there..

I don't think there's one.
The default will pick the colors from the gtk+ style and the themes ship their own css files to override that.
You'll have to figure which elements are broken with your gtk+ style & firefox style & color scheme and override them.

You'll have to utilize the dom inspector for this:

Alternatively use a "black on white" colorscheme or at least a gtk+ style that enforces it (or alter your gtk+ style to enforce it)

Dark colorscheme support is generally bad, worse on gtk+ (because of separated background and foreground control and many handcrafted widgets, not simply deriving the stock ones) and esp. on firefox (which uses XUL on top of gtk+)

Alternatively use a "black on white" colorscheme or at least a gtk+ style that enforces it (or alter your gtk+ style to enforce it)

Pardon, what that means? English is not my motherlang, so.. You mean, I can set separate style for some kind of apps in KDE? E.g. For non KDE appls? How?
Sorry, I am just a user =)

I created css file userChrome.css with content

Code: Select all

#searchbar, #urlbar , #find-field-container, #toolbar-menubar,#throbber, #bookmarks-menu
{
background-color: white;
color: #000;
-moz-appearance: none;
}
    body {
    background-color: white;
    color: black;
    display: block;
    margin: 8px;
    -moz-appearance: none;
    } 

but it changed nothing..

For firefox one could download themes (like foxdie) - no idea whether that's still supported.
For gtk+ (firefox should still use gtk+ 2) there's likely a kcm to configure it (in systemsettings) or you could use sth. like "gtk-chtheme".
It's configured in random ~/.gtkrc* files.

How many !important statements are in that config? ;-P

too many..

Code: Select all

#searchbar, #urlbar , #find-field-container, #toolbar-menubar,#throbber, #bookmarks-menu
{
background-color: white !important;
color: #000 !important;
-moz-appearance: none !important;
}
    body {
    background-color: white !important;
    color: black !important;
    display: block !important;
    margin: 8px !important;
    -moz-appearance: none !important;
    }

themes do not help

sorry, I did not understand you..

In many cases, KDE will configure Gtk applications (which include Firefox) to use it's colours by setting modified ~/.gtkrc* files.
To test if this is the cause of the problem, try removing those files.

I removed them, and got firefox looking rough but "black on white" - it's ok for me, but at the same time - all the other apps look not good as well

is there a way to make only firefox not to use system styles, or, better, only colours ?
Thanks!

To my knowledge, what you are seeking is not possible I am afraid.
