For example similar to the "Dark Background and Light Text" add-on for Abrowser.

In the land of the free, the usual answer to a question of "is it ***possible***" the answer is usually always "yes." Because. Freedom. Freedom to edit.

Please don't take the "asshole" part of that video too serious jxself. I just think it's a funny clip that was kind of fitting here. Except maybe change "asshole" for "pedantic".

Still love you tho

Eric S. Raymond has the best hacker attitude ever. Jxself is way too friendly.

I just love Raymond's "I'm your worst nightmare."

Do you mean for the UI or for messages? For the UI, it should use your
GTK3 theme. For messages, there are settings in the preferences. You'll
find them quickly.

Nice, so I've got mostly everything covered now. With the BlackMATE theme and changed the settings in the preferences for the background color for the messages.

However there's an area that's still bright light lit as the whitest whiteknight out there. And that's the area that lists all the messages. Also actually the area that lists events.

Thanks anyway :) I am one step closer!

If you look at the web page Magic Banana sent you, you'll see that this
addon is under the Mozilla Public License v2, which is a free software
license.
