by Mark, 7 years agoSo far I am very pleased with how this works in that the color matching with my Windows settings works fine and the colors chosen are perfect and do not make things hard to see.
There is one issue for me though and that is the only time the browser actually changes it's color is if I minimize it and then restore it. I have my Windows settings set that the background changes every ten minutes or so but the browser colors do not change along with it. I wish it did. This is a minor detail and not a deal-breaker or anything like that; it'd just be nice if the browser changed colors at the same time my desktop background changed.
EDIT: I did notice that the browser also changed colors when opening a new tab (but not all the time) so I don't actually have to minimize/restore the browser when my desktop background changes.

Developer response
posted 7 years agoI addressed this in issue #17 (https://github.com/spikespaz/firefox-nativedark/issues/17), and I don't think there is a way to hook an event listener for when the Windows background changes. If I find a way, I'll surely fix this.
