Ubuntu New Wave GTK theme and Firefox

No Comments

I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 yesterday and one of the new features is a theme called New Wave. Here is what the file browser looks like.

Upon starting Firefox I was greeted by black text on a grey menu bar.

Thankfully Firefox can be customized with CSS by creating a userChrome.css file in the chrome folder of your Firefox profile.

The userChrome.css code

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* set default namespace to XUL */ /* menu toolbar text color */ menu > label.menubar-text { color: #fff !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; } /* menu toolbar text color when menu is open */ menu[open="true"] > label.menubar-text { color: #1A1A1A !important; -moz-appearance: none !important; }

This fix also works on Komodo Edit 5.1 and SeaMonkey 2.
