    This is basically what I was thinking. I customized Firefox to be less rounded with sharp edges, single color and much denser. I don’t know why every application is treated like a new abstract art (off course I’m exaggerating here).

      That’s mine (resized to not have a huge screenshot file)

      Custom fully custom labwc theme, customized GTK theme, modified Firefox (userChrome.css)

      Thunar for reference.

      Anything more and I’d feel super distracted and annoyed.

        I go even further on the minimal UI personally lol. Black box over the date/time is an edit and the theme I have is animated so it has rain partiles falling down. But I like as much of my screen as possible to be the content and want the browser out of the way. I’m hoping they don’t entirely break my current setup. It’s technically Floorp but that’s Firefox based so we’ll see.

        Edit: Figured I should clarify. When I say minimal I mean like how MUCH of the UI I have. Like tabs and search bar in the same row. I don’t mean like minimalism. I’m clearly more maximalist in my themeing than you lol.

          There is clearly a lot going on in your UI! It’s always great to see how people customize their environment and funny how corporations like Mozilla think they know better.

          I don’t mean like minimalism. I’m clearly more maximalist in my themeing than you lol.

          Oh, my theming is maximalist. Especially labwc: It’s 100% custom from ground up for theme and configuration. Not one single bit was taken over from the default configuration. It’s just the result that is minimalist 😆

          Same with Firefox: I override almost all of the tabs styling with custom configuration.

            Yeah I meant like the end result since yours is the clean white look and mine is very busy lol

        I was hoping for screenshot sharing, lol. Yours look similar familiar, I wouldn’t be surprised if we shared in the past whenever we had this topic before.

        Mine evolves from time to time. Sometimes I learn something new from new screenshots and incorporate that. One such recent “implementation” is the Bookmarks Toolbar. I created a top level directory named “Favorites” and put all quick access bookmarks in there and moved the toolbar to the same level of tabs, to save me an entire extra line of bar. My current Firefox looks like this:

        I’m on KDE, the titlebar is disabled for all windows (I’m an auto tiler person). BTW I’m not sure how to get rid off the rounded corners of the window, but that is not Firefox specific.

          I did and I will continue doing so! 😇
