menu icon FF

[ruboard]

Please make it possible to change the icon in the context menu, or hide it. The default icon is ugly (IMHO).

Hey andy-portmen, ...

I suppose with the last update you followed the above request of ruboard.

Unfortunately now it is me, who is complaining. The new icon in the context-menu is so bright, it has a low contrast and is harder to find. ...

Isn't there some way for me to change it? Maybe via the userChrome.css or in the code somehow?

Best greetings from Germany,
Thomas

@ThomasSeeker can you share the screenshot?

Here: The old icon had more contrast.

[ruboard]

the new icon is much prettier and more harmonious. Thank you very much for responding to the request.
I disagree with the previous comment. tastes and especially the perception of contrast are different for everyone, you can’t please everyone.
a compromise solution of course would be the ability to change the icon yourself,
If I'm correct, then unfortunately changing userChrome.css won't work, right?

For me this icon is used:

No browser allows altering the menu item's icon (for privacy reasons).

I use waterfox classic, everything is possible in it. but I just can't track the extension icon,
for example refresh button: list-style-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/reload.svg");

But I am at least able to hide the icon of another addon with this line in the userChrome.css:

#contentAreaContextMenu :is(#extension_one-tab_com-menuitem-1[image*="moz-extension://"],menu[image*="moz-extension://"]) .menu-iconic-left { visibility: hidden !important; }

If hiding is possible, is it really impossible to replace it?

I found a way to change the icons.

• I downloaded and extracted the .xpi file.
• I changed the icons in the data/icons directory.
• I packed the whole thing back into a zip file.
• I set about:config -> xpinstall.signatures.required = false
• I installed it in Firefox -> Addons -> Install Addon from File

This is the result: Beautiful! :-)
