283504 - option to enforce light grey background instead of white

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Disability Access, enhancement)

Description

[omg itsh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible;MSIE 5.5; GNU/Linux)
Build Identifier: 

on webpages with background colors=#FFFFFF, the background is white (duh). this
can be a problem. indeed, in dark rooms late at night, getting a white page
popping up can be very aggressive to the eyes. moreover, melatonin secretion
(hormon regulating sleep) can be perturbated by a sudden burst of incoming
light, delaying sleep after the computer is left. and constantly adjusting the
brightness of a monitor is not a viable long-term option.

so, i would like firefox to have an option to enforce html background with
colors #FFFFFF to a light-grey such as #CCCCCC or #DDDDDD. this is considerably
softer than full-force white, with in mind to avoid the forementionned problems.

This functionality already exists, through userContent.css (try googling for it
or asking in the support forums).

If you mean to change the color of the background ONLY when it would be white,
then that's something much better suited to an extension.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

[omg itsh]

forcing all colors doesn't count as autoforcing one color leaving others intact

Comment 6

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

so the next thing you'll do once this is approved you'll ask us to have an
option to change bright-yellow, bright-green etc aswell
Dim your monitor if it's too bright.

[omg itsh]

no, only full white backgrounds

i can tune my monitor, in fact there is a button just for this

but $FFFFFF is just too saturating no matter what. it's a tasteless choice

I request that it reads with calm and attention
This Javascript is dynamic
He is not static

#################################

       THIS JAVASCRIPT THAT MUST BE INTRODUCED AS OPTION IS DYNAMIC

 ............ BUT A COLOR OF DEEP IN PARTICULAR IS SELECTED ..........

 EXCLUSIVELY The DEEP COLOR OF # FFFFFF, NONE ANOTHER COLOR OF DEEP IS MODIFIED


 .....THE OTHER COLORS OF DEEP CONFIGURED BY THE AUTHOR REMAIN UNBROKEN .....

 #################################
IN
Tools - Options - Content - Colors
ALL COLORS HAS SELECTED


In this Javascript; only; exclusively; this color of deep is selected --- to select all it would be general --- and only would modify too much the appearance of the pages


After long navigation and after I to configure some PCs how much the colors and
colors of deep;
 --------
I found the fact of the color # FFFFFF cause great visual fatigue;
 --------
The people which I configured the PC how much the colors and colors of deep if
had complained of the color # FFFFFF or rgb(255,255,255); cause visual fatigue;
 --------
I decide this using addon Greasemonkey
   https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/748/
 in my javascript ----  def.user.js  ----

 // <![CDATA[
// ==UserScript==
// @name          defBackground
// @description   Replace #FFFFFF backgrounds for #F9FFF4 backgrounds
// @include       *
// ==/UserScript==
( 
 function confBackg() {
        var backs = "rgb(255, 255, 255)";
        var getref = new Array('body','table','td','tr','div');
   for(var i=0; getas = getref[i]; i++) {
   gettag = document.getElementsByTagName(getas);
   for(var j=0; astag = gettag[j]; j++) {
  if(astag.bgColor == '#ffffff' || astag.style.backgroundColor == backs ||
window.getComputedStyle(astag,null).backgroundColor == backs) {
astag.style.backgroundColor= '#f9fff4!important'; }
   }
   }
 }
 )();

 // ]]>


 --------

The application of this Javascript resulted in some congratulations for the
people which I configured the colors in the PC;
 --------
All the users of the navigator must have these options of personal
configuration
