Hello! Is there a way to create a shortcut that toggles on/off the checkbox "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above" located in Tools/Options/Content/Colors? I have to change this setting many times and need to speed it up.

I have looked for add-ons that could automate this configuration change, but to no avail. Only web page actions can be recorded in a macro, but no configuration changes.

A shortcut to get to the appropriate dialog box would help as well. I could manually tick/untick the box while saving all the several steps needed to get there. But I have not found it anywhere.

Thank you very much for any help you can provide me.

Best regards,

Alex

I have a check box on the PrefBar to toggle that setting (browser.display.use_document_colors).
PrefBar also allows to assign a shortcut to buttons and check boxes.

Hi, I want to drop a note to say thank you, cor-el. Your answer was better and faster than I could have expected. It not only solved my problem, but also opened new possibilities for more quick configurations.

I am now obliged to follow your example and join this wonderful community of volunteers that help others to enjoy this fantastic browser.
