If you're like me you can get a bit of a head ache if you're staring into a white web page for too long, well yesterday I did some searching and I came across what I feel is a really nice add-on for firefox, if you want to see the end result check out this picture here:


It is the product of a few themes / add-ons, first the darkness from the page requires an add-on called "Stylish" which allows you to download a bunch of themes which will change the colors of websites automatically. Download stylish here:

Then you need to get a specific theme, the one I am running is called "Carbon eXtreme" which you can download here:

If you want to search for other themes I suggest searching "Global Styles" as those ones apply globally to all the sites you visit.

There is another nice style add-on which makes the screen when you first open a new page black instead of white, it's called "about:blank black" and you can check it out here:

Lastly, the darkened firefox is from "PitchDark 3.5.0" which can be downloaded here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1529

So basically this is a nice way to make this page darker if you don't like it being too white, we plan to in the future program something into the page to make a similar dark theme without the need for any programs like this. - Chris, IL
