Note

Thank you for choosing my theme. However, due to the more and more annoying and absurd design of Firefox CSS selectors along with Firefox updates, I am no longer actively maintaining this project. PRs are still welcome and I will reponse in time. You can also find some very excellent themes projects here.

The auto hide also works on Tree Style Tabs, but you may need to adjust the css to achieve the best look.

How to apply

1. You need to have Sidebery installed.

2. Download the files in release according to your operation system. You can also directly use the source files you need.

3. If you haven't customized your Firefox before, check out this guide for how to set up your Firefox and the profiles. TL;DR version:

   1. Navigate to about:config in the address bar and accept the risks.
   2. Search for toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets and toggle it to true (by double clicking on it).
   3. Navigate to about:support in the address bar, under Application Basics, find Profile Folder and open it. You should now see your profile folder.
   4. Inside your profile folder, create a new folder named chrome (all lower case).

4. Once you have your chrome folder under your profile directory, copy the userChrome.css you downloaded into chrome. Alternatively you can create a blank userChrome.css and paste the code. Restart your browser.

5. Go to the settings of Sidebery, go to Styles editor, paste all the code from sidebery_styles.css. Please turn on "Show navigation bar in one line" under "Navigation bar" in the settings.
