Background box behind extension toolbar icons

[Nekomajin]

Since extension toolbar icons are usually made for light background, it's hard to see them on a dark color. Especially if you use the page accent color to the toolbar, which can blend with the icon's colors.

It would be good to have a box behind the icons with the Foreground color, like we have it on the sidebar with a dark background.

I'm not sure, but I've seen a request where you want to remove the background from tabs. So please make it optional.

I did not want to remove it. It was the request of someone else, and I wanted it to be optional.

By the way, the best would be to make this feature a theme preference.

A bg color may help .button-toolbar.browserAction-button {background-color: var(--colorAccentFgAlpha);}

@Nekomajin OK, then sorry. I was too lazy to search for it.

@potmeklecbohdan
No problem.

@Hadden89
Do you know the selector for the favicons?

[A Former User]

@Nekomajin Add img or > img (but that's not necessary) after it.

[Hadden89]

@Nekomajin Not totally sure, but I think is this
.toolbar-addressbar .extensions-wrapper .browserAction-button img {opacity: 1 !important;}
By default opacity on extension buttons is lower (.7?) which is actually strange

Another thing which could help on small UI (under 85%).
.extensions-wrapper .browserAction-button img {transform: scale(1.5);}

I was talking about the actual favicons on the tabs, but since then, I have found the topic about inspecting the browser GUI.

Thanks for the answer, anyway.

@Nekomajin The issue isn't dark/light, since most extension icons work on both white/grey and black/dark grey. The real issue is Vivaldi's accent from page on address bar when enabled – it's a clown fiesta. Since Chrome will get native dark mode at some point, extension icons themselves should improve over time.

@luetage
You are correct, but the whole issue could be addressed with a theme option like this.
