posted 7 years agoSuper sorry for that!
The toolbar button only switches the theme when 'manual' method is selected (otherwise, time/weather method check every 5 minutes for an update on time/cloudiness, so manual choices would be overridden every 5 minutes). So first, please do select manual method in the 'Preferences' page for Zen Fox, and then save. That should get the button working.
Next, in v1.5 it would appear upon install that manual was already selected on that settings page, but you would actually need to hit save anyway — in the latest update, it is not pre-selected any more. Hopefully that should clarify that the user needs to choose. I'll add this to the description too, and get to work on hiding the button when incompatible methods are selected.
A question: Do you think that a settings page is the right way to go about options, or a popup that drops from pressing the toolbar button?
Thank you for your kind words and review <3, and for taking the time to attach that screenshot!

After the latest updates, if in Weather/Time mode, clicking the toolbar button opens the settings page (upon seeing which, the user should hopefully realize they are not in manual mode). Clicking it while in manual mode changes the theme, as it should. Additionally, hovering on the toolbar button also tells you the current mode, so it should be clearer.
I think the above process is clear enough for now, without the added complication of a popup for such a simple theme :)

- Rated 4 out of 5by blendzior, 2 years agoVery useful extension.
However I have two problems with it. First issue is that the extension doesn't update appearance automatically with "Follow global system theme" option enabled. Second - blank page is not matching theme color scheme - it remains unchanged. - Rated 5 out of 5by yoshiysoh, 2 years ago

- Rated 4 out of 5by gjkf, 5 years agoThe extension is great, works as advertised and is overall lovely.
One minor annoyance is that when I open a new window, the theme is completely gone: the bar gets of a very light blue and the background of the home page also gets bright, regardless of the hour.
Other than that is a completely fine extension that works without issue.
Update: fixed by disabling the Firefox Color extension which was causing conflicts. Stupid of me not removing it :)Developer response
posted 5 years agoHi, thank you for your feedback!
Very sorry it hasn't been working properly. I just tried to re-create the same issue, but when I open a new window the theme still works perfectly.
Can you please share your Firefox version? And can you possible try disabling some other add-ons that may interfere with this theme?
Update: No worries haha, glad it's working well now :) - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15159555, 5 years ago
