gala VS elementaryos-firefox-theme

Or with some manual compiling of things: https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland

As you can see here, here, here and here some work was done long ago to introduce different tiling options but this feature was never top priority for head dev.

it was broken here https://github.com/elementary/gala/pull/1304/commits. I'm too lazy to revert that code but it's possible to fix the gtk2 dimm bug (which possibly also fixes the rest too)

Report this issue on GitHub, please https://github.com/elementary/gala/issues

For hiding applications from overview, or showing only windows of the focused app you would need to patch gala, the window manager. It is written mostly in vala, and uses libmutter (the same lib for gnome-shell's window management) underneath. Apparently it has a "plugin" system, but I'm not versed enough that those plugins have to be there at compile time or can be separately compiled. Here's the code: https://github.com/elementary/gala

There’s a link to a wiki on that project board with that info :) https://github.com/elementary/gala/wiki/Experimenting-with-Wayland

for the theming in Firefox i currently use https://github.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/tree/elementaryos-firefox-theme but I sometimes switch back to standard look ...in combination with tweaks it adapts the dark mode (the ubuntu repo firefox installed with apt)

You can try this Firefox theme for a better integration :)

I installed this theme: https://github.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme/tree/elementaryos-odin-firefox-theme

Yeah, this triggers me too. I remember having the same problem on KDE though, so it's most likely a Firefox thing. You can use this custom eOS theme for Firefox if it's bothering you enough GitHub - Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme: This theme for Firefox supports all the window buttons layouts from Tweaks and it blends into the elementary OS user interface.

As in the title, I have weird black boxes behind the modals (e.g. bookmarks on the screenshot above) on Firefox. Initially I thought it was related to custom theme but after removing it and reverting toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets, problem still exists. Any idea how to fix it?

By default no but thanks to the zonnev we have this: https://github.com/Zonnev/elementaryos-firefox-theme

If you are running the early builds of eOS 6 Odin you can install Firefox in there and add my theme for Odin. It's not recommended to install the Odin theme in eOS Hera since it won't look good because of double window borders and larger rounded window corners. For some reason in eOS 6 Odin, Firefox doesn't get window borders, so I added them manually with the style sheet.

This is a tweak of the original theme by Zonnev. I'm still working on some details, then I'll put the userChrome on Github as well.
