Theme Changes Some Components to Dark-mode Despite Override
Hiya,
I use a theme which some years ago (after a change in the way Firefox handles dark-mode preferences) changed all UI and websites to use dark-mode. I was able to keep using the theme, and mostly override this behavior by setting:
`layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override = 1`
However, this didn't take for some components, such as the sidebar and bookmark editor window, which still continue to use dark-mode.
Is there any way to completely disable dark-mode everywhere, and still use my preferred theme?
Cheers, Afraz

You can edit the theme manifest file and change "color_scheme" to "light" then either submit it as a new theme or install it on Developer Edition with signature enforcement disabled.

We can rule out `userChrome.css`, because I don't have one :)
It could well be an "incompatible" theme. I got it from the normal theme page for Firefox, and this started happening some time ago, when Firefox changed the way themes effect dark-mode.
I'd really like to keep using this theme though, so am willing to create the necessary entries in a `userChrome.css`. Trouble is, I have no idea what I need to set. Is there documentation somewhere I can look up for changing the appearance of all the extra UI windows like the history browser, bookmarks browser, etc.?

Marked @zeroknight's answer as correct, but it bears further explanation.
This is what needs to be added in the manifest:
``` ...
"properties": {
"color_scheme": "light"
}
... ```
It seems that if a theme doesn't set `properites.color_scheme`, then Firefox defaults to "dark" (my OS is set to light), which is disappointing.
Themes are meant to override the OS theme. The light/dark color scheme is decided by the theme's toolbar and text colors if one isn't specified.
So given the following manifest, Firefox would use "dark"?
{
"theme": {
"images": {
"theme_frame": "fox1_head.png"
},
"colors": {
"frame": "#12455e",
"tab_background_text": "#ffffff"
},
},
"version": "2.0",
"name": "Have a Light Fox Dream",
"manifest_version": 2,
"description": "Enjoy more!"
}
