Support for Mica or Blurred Windows

FF Ultima supports Mica or Blurred Windows (All Operating Systems) through the use of the Transparent Color Scheme (user.theme.transparent). This color scheme simply makes the browser window transparent, and makes sure everything else blends in perfectly with whatever External method you use to enable Blur.

Note: user.theme.transparent will not activate if you have other user.themes enabled.

Windows Setup

1. Firefox about:config

   • In about:config - user.theme.transparent & browser.tabs.browser.tabs.allow_transparent_browser true.
   • The user.js already handles every other necessary setting.

2. Mica4Everyone

   • Ensure your browser is not blacklisted.
   • I believe no other setup is required here.

3. Windows Settings (Personalize)

   • Ensure Transparency effects is set to on
   • Ensure Accent color is set to Automatic
