- Rated 4 out of 5by The Pfaffinator, 6 years agoI am so happy to have a universal "dark mode" for browsing that is customizable like this! I have tried dozens of dark mode Firefox extensions, and none of them give the granular control and theme customization that Midnight Lizard does.
The only reasons I didn't give 5 stars are:
1) Saving changes to an existing theme is a bit cumbersome. Any change made sets the theme to "custom" instead of the theme I was currently using. Then I have to click Color Schemes, then choose the one you are editing from the dropdown, then enter the name again in the box before clicking "save". I'd like to be able to update the current theme by clicking "Apply" on the main screen.
2) The toolbar icon for this extension is very brightly colored, and rather too small to see the detail in certain browser themes. It would be nice to have a monochrome, simple geometric icon that blends with the rest of the native themes, or the ability for the user to customize the icon.
Other than that, great work, and thank you very much for helping me use my browser without burning out my retinas (the web is normally way too bright).
Also, thanks for the Solarized-like scheme on the forums. Please make it a built in theme, since I know I'm not the only person wanting it.Developer response
posted 6 years agoHi! Thank you for the review.
1) It works this way historically since originally there were no predefined color schemes at all. And this is true only when you are editing Default or Custom color schemes which also were introduced much later. But for Default color scheme to save your changes you can use Set as default. Just one click will do both save and apply the changes.
So meaning of Apply button was defined when it was absolutely logical and I couldn't later change it and break existing users' expectations. But probably I can duplicate Save button near to Apply (and make it even more confusing :)
2) That's a good point. Will try to implement it in the future.
*) There will be a website with more color schemes to choose from soon. - Rated 4 out of 5by Elmer Fiqi, 7 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13795438, 7 years agoThis app is insanely useful, and works on every website i've tested. My only complaint is that it's a hard to use at first, and when changing values, it'll take a few seconds after pressing apply for your results to show up which is annoying when you want to fine tune a page to your liking.

posted 7 years agoHello!
You can disable Midnight Lizard globally with Alt+Shift+M keyboard shortcut and for current website with Alt+Shift+L
Also the same is possible through the Midnight Lizard settings popup. Use left click on the extension icon to open popup. There you can find big global toggle and small checkbox near the current website title which toggles current website.
Best regards

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12239101, 7 years agoAfter installing this I get the "This extension (Midnight Lizard) is slowing down the tab, would you like to stop it" popups at ALL sites I visit. Browser was lagging like crazy. NOT RECOMMENDED.
EDIT: Thanks, I followed the advice from the developer and things are a lot lighter overall now, although sites where a different theme is active still feel quite heavy on the browser though, but it's not a universal problem now.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYes, this behavior is possible on some websites and/or slow machines.
Please switch to the Simplified mode on the Common tab of Midnight Lizard settings popup.
Choose to 'Set as default' if you are experiencing slowdown on most websites.
Best regards
Midnight Lizard - Rated 4 out of 5by Sidhe, 7 years agoI like the app, but when you move the icon to the "Other tools" list, the scale of the settings window changes to a very small one.
