updating Firefox add-ons
Saturday, April 25th, 2009 09:09 pmI was able to update the ToggleDocumentColors extension to do what I wanted it to do. Now I can set my colors to whatever values I want, without it causing problems when I'm using the page-specified settings.
I emailed the add-on's author in case they want to incorporate my change into a new version of the add-on. But the change might confuse some people, and maybe most people don't set their colors like I did anyway, so it would not be an issue for them in the first place. So, I'm not really sure if it would be a good idea to update the add-on for other people, or not.
Instead of feeling accomplished by my accomplishment, I just feel tired. It took way longer to get it working than I was expecting, which is rather typical. Don't get me wrong - coding the add-ons does seem to be quite simple; it just takes a while to figure things out. (especially when the functions throw exceptions for undocumented reasons! grrr!)
