Black borders on Pale Moon with Moonscape theme #222

I am very new to Linux, so I'm not sure how to fix this. This is on Manjaro. The black borders wouldn't show up when I tested this in the live usb demo, and I think installing Pale Moon and the Moonscape theme before Chicago95 contributed to that, but I kinda don't want to go through another fresh install to try to fix it that way. There's gotta be another smarter way, yeah?

Also, apologies if this question is better suited for the dev of Moonscape instead. I figured I'd ask here first.

Hi @Racecarjohnny This is a known issue with the Moonscape theme on the GTK3 version of the Pale Moon browser. [Read here] Since you are new to Linux based operating systems, I have to ask what method you went about with installing Pale Moon? If you are using the tarball archive, you can replace the current install with the GTK2 version. [See here].

Thanks for the fast response! I never would have thought to check the Pale Moon forum.

I had installed Pale Moon with Pamac from the, uh, Manjaro repository? Which was indeed the GTK3 version. I had tried to install it using Chicagofier at first, but it actually never managed to do it; just reskinned Firefox. I just downloaded the GTK2 version like you said and it looks perfect now.

Course, now I gotta decipher how to install it proper 😅. Thanks for your help and what you do. Chicago95 has really made the switch to Linux a lot more approachable.

That's great! There are instructions on how to manually "install" the Pale Moon browser [here]. I believe those should help.

This problem affects every Gecko/Goanna-based browser on GTK3. To fix it, add the following string values in about:config: ui.threedshadow #696969 ui.threedhighlight #f0f0f0

@SneedSoft Thanks. I'll have to try that out.
