[SOLVED] Random Firefox question...

Linux Support

Hi all!

My current window manager theme uses dark backgrounds with white text. The problem with this is in Firefox on certain pages, such as Youtube, the text entered into text boxes is white… on a white background. See where I’m going?

I have gone through the prefences and selected the option to use my own colours instead of the website choosing but this maked websites like Youtube and eBay horrible to look at.

I was just wondering if anybody knows of a way I can alter the colour of the default text without having to change my window manager theme.

Cheers in advance for your help!

I would guess that certain websites would set the textbox background colour to white but would leave the font colour to system settings You could either force the background colour to a darker colour or force the font colour to say black. There is a guide here or here where you modify (or create) [b]/home/user_name/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default/chrome/userChrome.css[/b] More specifically look at changing the contents of the following (example): input class (Single line text fields) 
/* Single line text fields */
input {
 /* Set font size and family of text fields */
  color: black !important; 
  /* Set background color to something a little prettier */
  background-color: rgb(200, 255, 220) !important;
}

and textarea class (Multi-line textareas)

/* Multi-line textareas */
textarea {
  color: black !important; 
  background-color: rgb(200, 255, 220) !important;
}

SeZo,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I’ve been moving house (again)!

I’ve have only quickly tried what you said, and looked at the links but it didn’t seem to work. I didn’t have a userChrome.css file but created one from the link and made the adjustments.

I’m going to try again over the weekend when I’ve got a bit of time.

Thanks
