[arch-general] FF Browser Tip for Archers who like a darker desktop (DR, you listening?)
Guys, Here is a quick browser tip for firefox. About a year ago I stumbled across 'NightShift - Eyecare' that did a fantastic job at basically inverting the way firefox rendered pages darkening the display and providing immediate relief to tired eyes: NightShift - Eyecare (good title) http://userstyles.org/styles/18192 It's not for all pages, but when you need to read a page or two of text and you don't want to stare into a bright display, it is worth its weight in gold. Last night, I had to rebuild my firefox install (moving ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-sav and starting new). Looking for nightshift again (not remembering what it was called and searing 'night' on userstyles.org, I stumbled across 'Midnight Surfing' and gave it a try. Wow, it worked better in some circumstances. That was cool, so I thought I would pass it along to the list: Midnight Surfing http://userstyles.org/styles/23516 It can be a great tool to stick in your toolbox for the right circumstance and since stylish integrates nicely with FF providing the little status bar on/off dialog for the styles, you can flip it on/off with no effort at all. Install stylish before going to userstyles.org and you can then just load the styles into firefox. Get stylish at the mozilla addons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/2108/addon-2108-la... Enjoy! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Wow, nice stuff. I was already thinking about using some custom css for all pages at night, but this seems to work better. However, I'm known as bug creator, and so I found a rather severe one immediately. It doesn't work with local html files at all.

Indeed nice stuff, but... Stylish is supposed to work with Chrome, and I tried it with Chromium 5.0.375.99 - an error message "unable to open a transaction to the database" keeps popping up... Cheers, Sergey

Philipp, Sergey, I hadn't tried local files or chrome so that's good info to know what the limitations are. Looking at the development log for both of the projects, they seem active. It might be worth dropping the author a note. The local file issue should be an easy fix. I don't know enough about chrome to say one way or the other. I believe the contact info is on both the nightshift and midnight surfing pages. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Yes, just add "url-prefix(file://)" to the end of "@-moz-document" section. In my example for Midnight Style script, @-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(https://), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://){

Thanks, I opted for: @-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(https://),url-prefix(about:blank), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://) I could only find the address of the nightshift author and mailed him the suggestion.
