Can I change the firebug console background color?

Question

I\'d prefer the firebug window to have a dark background color and light text (or even just a gray background instead of white would be enough).

Is there way I can do th

Answer 1

I just checked out the latest FireFox version and it seems that you have a Theme option built-in the debug console. Just hit the gear icon at the top and then select the theme you want: Dark light theme. Voilà!

There's no option for changing the colors but there are some themes like NASA Night Launch changing the colors. You also have the possibility to change the colors by yourself. To do so you can either open the XPI file and change the styles there or fetch the source from github, change it there and build your own XPI.

To change your XPI:

1. Click Firefox Menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information
2. Click the Show Folder button
3. Open the extensions folder
4. Open the file named firebug@software.joehewitt.com.xpi with a packer program that is able to open ZIP files (an XPI file is just a renamed ZIP)
5. In there go to skin > classic
6. Change the CSS files in there as you like (the main panel colors are defined in panelbase.css inside the .panelNode rule)

To fetch the source:

1. Fetch the Firebug source from github repository
2. In there go to skin > classic
3. Change the CSS files in there as you like (the main panel colors are defined in panelbase.css inside the .panelNode rule)
4. Build the XPI file using Apache ANT (integrated in many IDEs)
5. Drag & drop that XPI file into your Firefox to install it
