make firefox display #fff as #ddd

basically, I want to make firefox clip anything higher than #ddd (light gray) for the whole page(including images and flash), black on white gives me a headache, unfortunately its used far too often on the web.

Re: make firefox display #fff as #ddd

that would be simple enough to do with a greasemonkey script.

preferences > content > colors

There's a checkbox "allow sites to set their own" or something that is checked by default.

thanks, looks interesting

while that works for some pages, It stops background images loading, which messes up the layout of some pages,

my origonal idea was more along the lines of

rasterize page -> post proses wight clipping /RGB curve -> draw to screen.

the web page would still work the same as when it was unaltered, but would not have the high contrast problem.

Is there something odd about your viewing situation? I'm surprised you can't fix the problem with lighting and your screen calibration controls.

My screen is calibrated for displaying images acuratly, as im interested in 3DCG, mostly high contrast interfaces can be rectifyed via themeing, the only exeption being the web.

You can get the Stylish extension, and look for a dark style on userstyles.org.
Below is the style I am using at the moment.  It makes everything terminal-like, so it is a godsend on my eyes.

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://), url-prefix(https://) {
  * {
    color: white !important;
    background: none !important;
    background-color: black !important;
    -moz-opacity: 1 !important;
  }
  a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active, li {
    font-weight: normal !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
  }
  a:link {
    color: yellow !important;
  }
  a:visited {
    color: olive !important;
  } 
  a:hover {
    color: lime !important;
  }
  a:active {
    color: green !important;
  }
  input, select, button {
    background: black !important;
    color: red !important;
  }
  b, strong {
    color: lime !important;
  }
  i, em {
    color: green !important;
  }
}

Re: make firefox display #fff as #ddd

To do this alltogether use compiz or other thing and play with dimming and transparency

Then how about a gentler color profile for desktop use, if it's necessary to have extreme brightness for graphics?

thanks, that works verry well actualy ...except for images

'extreme brightness' is the last thing you want for doing accurate image work, unless you want colours close to black to be truncated. I just find black on white very hard to reed.

To do this alltogether use compiz or other thing and play with dimming and transparency

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't use compiz. im currently using Awesome.

Well, yeah. That's why my first assumption was a configuration error.

I never figured this out.
