I like macos big sur themes so I want to make firefox look like safari,but this theme doesn't work on Linux.

I'd recommend trying this theme if you're using linux: https://github.com/vinceliuice/WhiteSur-gtk-theme/tree/master/src/other/firefox

Does that also work for kde? And also,I just want to use the safari theme,I don't want to use a whole different gtk theme.

You can always copy the folder in the link above into your firefox profile folder to get it working. Otherwise i'm pretty sure you can use the ./tweaks.sh -f script to install it automatically also

Hi @AdamXweb Are you the author of "Firefox CSS Theme Store"?

[ghost]

@AdamXweb Does this look the same as your project?

[stormbeforesunsetbee]

@Toadfield Actually yeah. @AdamXweb You gotta learn about licensing and don't forget to add COPYING in your repo :D But don't worry tho, I already asked Vince to relicense WhiteSur to MIT which is more permisive

But it would be cooler if this would work on Linux cause this is more than a firefox theme,but I only need the firefox theme.

It's usable but doesn't quiet work

I think we need some query to detect the OS so we can make this theme more portable. References:

Nope, I just added the theme with a pull request into their main repo

It would be cool, however like what @rivanfebrian123 mentioned with licensing and copying, i've tried to avoid stepping too close to the original, and to make something for PC and Mac users. If @vinceliuice and @rivanfebrian123 are ok with it, i'd be happy to add support for Linux

@Toadfield Actually yeah. @AdamXweb You gotta learn about licensing and don't forget to add COPYING in your repo :D But don't worry tho, I already asked Vince to relicense WhiteSur to MIT which is more permisive

I'll be sure to add it this week!

Definitely possible! The theme already has a few windows specific features (using media queries), so adding some for linux shouldn't be too difficult hopefully

Also, I should have a few updates later this week, just been a bit preoccupied moving house

Hey, you know what? WhiteSur is now MIT licenced, so distributors like you, don't have to worry about taking some code from the upstream repo.

Just don't worry about those "bloated" things :) Keep your code clean and neat so it wouldn't be that huge and scary. CMIIW

I'm in the process of adding variables to the theme so that it'll be universal and more compatible. Progress can be viewed here until I receive access to the repo to make modifications: https://github.com/AdamXweb/WhiteSur-firefox-theme/tree/MacOSWindowsSupport
