  • Version 1.4.1

    Released Feb 23, 2023 - 197.43 KB
    Works with firefox 95.0 and later
    - Fixed the " Change themes based on the system theme" mode. Big thanks to Eason Wong (https://github.com/easonwong-de) for this!
    - Modify so that prefers-color-scheme only follows the system theme while in "change theme based on system theme" mode. Otherwise, we use the value from the theme.
    - Modify Options page background to change based on prefers-color-scheme value, rather than whether the add-on is in daytime or nighttime mode. The logo still reflects whether the add-on is in daytime or nighttime mode.

  • Version 1.0.6

    Released May 6, 2019 - 15.02 KB
    Works with firefox 48.0 and later
    - New permission required: usage of storage API. NOTE: This will require you to add your settings again. However, this should be more reliable than the previous and should never be cleared, unless uninstalling/removing the addon (or resetting settings).
    - The addon no longer checks the time on an interval! Instead, it will set a timer for the specified sunrise/sunset time and will change the theme then.
    - Modifying any setting will change the theme if appropriate. Thus, the 'manually check time' button has been removed.
    - Code cleanup to make future maintenance easier. :)
