For example, if the background of the auto-complete popup was dark, the text color of the tips are set to a light color so they can be seen. With this addition, we had to take in account the text color of the ac-url and ac-action tips associated with each result. We added the ability to customize the URL auto-complete popups. We got a great introduction to Mercurial by the end of the project and used some sweet tools to help our development process such as for indexed searching of mozilla-central, and janitor for web-based development. It was neat to see that the UI of Firefox is made in much the same way as other web pages. Everyone on there is extremely helpful and friendly!Īll code written was in JavaScript and CSS. Being programmers, we were stubborn and wanted to figure out our issues ourselves but could have solved them a lot faster if we just simply asked in the Mozilla IRC. Through the project, we learned to ask questions sooner rather than later. Our mentors: Jared, Mike, Tim, and the Mozilla community on IRC all helped us through squashing our first bug. After downloading the mozilla-central repository and exploring through the 40+ million lines of source, it was a bit daunting for all of us. Prior to this project, none of us had experience with Firefox development. Enjoy - and then read on for the rest of the details: This video showcases a majority of the improvements we added to the Theming API and gives a good explanation of what our project was about. Our team also worked on adding a more fluid transition when dynamic themes changed to allow for a smoother user experience. Themes had the ability to alter the appearance of the default toolbars, but did not have the ability to style menus, or customize auto-complete popups. Our goal was to expand upon the existing “lightweight” Theming API in Quantum to allow for more areas of customization. Tim Nguyen: Volunteer Contributor The Project Our project increases a user’s ability to customize the appearance of the Firefox browser. We had the privilege of working with Mozilla on Firefox Quantum’s Theming API.
Twenty-four groups of five students were each assigned an industry sponsor based on preference and skill set. Project Dark Theme Darkening was part of Michigan State University’s Computer Science capstone experience.
