webext-base-css

Extremely minimal "native" stylesheet/setup for Web Extensions’ options pages (also dark mode)

Together with some stylesheets included by the browsers, extends and improves the the options_ui.chrome_style setting, including Firefox.

It's meant to look as native as possible, invisible. webext-base-css is what browsers should offer by default.

Look at the demo options.html for the suggested markup (it's basic and not really enforced.)

Demo: Chrome with light theme Firefox with dark theme
white black

Install

Download the stylesheet manually or use npm:

npm install webext-base-css

Usage

<link rel="stylesheet" href="webext-base.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="your-own-stylesheet-if-necessary.css">

You'll also have to set chrome_style: true in your manifest.json:

{
	"options_ui": {
		"page": "options.html",
		"chrome_style": true
	}
}

💡 Tip: Also use webext-options-sync to manage and autosave your extension's options.

Usage with a bundler

Depending on how your bundler is configured, you might be able to use one of these to import the module directly from node_modules. If you have issues or have a better solution, please send a PR or open an issue.

<!-- From options.html -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/webext-base-css/webext-base.css">
// From options.js
import 'webext-base-css';
/* From options.css or .scss */
/* Pick one, it depends on your bundler/config */
@import 'webext-base-css';
@import '~webext-base-css';
@import '~webext-base-css/webext-base.css';
@import 'npm:webext-base-css'; /* Parcel */
@use 'webext-base-css';

Full example

Here's a minimal but full options.html example page:

<!doctype html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Options</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="webext-base.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="options.css">
<form>
	<p>
		<label for="name">Name</label><br>
		<input type="text" id="name" name="name" spellcheck="false" autocomplete="off" required/>
	</p>
	<p>
		<label>
			<input type="checkbox" name="logging">
			Show the features enabled on each page in the console
		</label>
	</p>
</form>
<script src="options.js"></script>
