Hi,
Im using firefox on win 10 with
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ft-deepdark/ theme, some
users reported same problem with screenshots on
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/ in reviews

here is how it looked in 2.0

The best would be if the author would support DownThemAll!, i.e theme it in an appropriate way in their theme.
But I will look into improving this nonetheless

Yes i too use Ft-dark theme and its completely unusable UI/toolbar for DTA.
Please correct for dark theme users.

I cannot even know what is a "dark" theme and what is a "bright" theme. Therefore I cannot "correct" anything for dark themes specifically, but have to find a compromise that will work good on default themes and OK-ish on dark themes.

And yes, I will prefer working good on default themes any time over looking better on dark themes, because
a) default themes have far more users
b) non-default themes are in the unique position that the THEME author can provide DTA styles that will make it good, but we cannot provide customize styles for any and every theme out there (if alone for scale, and for tech limitations)

Having said that, I will take/make fixes that work with default themes and still improve non-default themes

I agree that its not wise to spend time for minor user group. But please do remember we use dark theme mainly for night time browsing , as the simple themes dont accomplish much. Atleast can you add a option so that those who want can switch DTA to full dark mode ? Even RES has this feature and nowadays almost all apps(android for eg) and many softwares are implementing the dark mode.

Thanks in advance.

That's not an "at least", that's a full blown feature requiring a lot of coding, testing, maintenance.
There is no Firefox API to just switch themes on the fly, so it would require tons of work-arounds. Also, of course, there is no Firefox Desktop "Night mode" or similar, or a reliable way to detect if a theme is dark or not.

RES

No idea what you're referring to...
