## Thunderblurred

### A ~~blurred~~ transparent CSS theme for Thunderbird. You need a compositor to have the blur effect.

## How to

### Quick install for the linux lads

1. Run

  

  ```bash

  $ bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manilarome/thunderblurred/master/install.sh)"

  ```

2. After the confirmation message that the theme is successfully installed, open thunderbird. You'll notice that it is still not transparent. To fix this, **`Open Menu > Customize > Change the theme to Dark`**.

#### NOTE

+ It is advisible to check the script first before running it.

+ The script will fail if you have multiple profile directories! Make sure you only have one!

+ If you have a current chrome folder in your profile directory, the script will make a backup.

### Manual Installation

1. Open the Thunderbird Menu located on the top-right corner with a humburger menu(three horizontal lines).

2. Select `Preferences`, then `Preferences` again.

3. Go to `Advanced`, find the `Config Editor` button then press it.

4. A dialog will warn you, but ignore it, ~~just do it~~ press the `I accept the risk!` button.

5. Search for **`toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets`**, **`layers.acceleration.force-enabled`**, **`gfx.webrender.all`**, and **`svg.context-properties.content.enabled`**. Make sure to **enable them all!**

6. Go to your thunderbird profile located in `$HOME/.thunderbird/XXXXXXX.default-release/`.

7. Create a folder and name it **`chrome`**, then assuming that you already clone this repo, just copy the theme to `chrome` folder.

8. Finally, change the Thunderbird theme from default to dark. **This is important!**

## Note

### If there's no blur effect

1. Make sure you have a compositor with blur support running! 

### If you're using Plasma and there's no blur effect,

1. Enable the blur in your compositor. Go to `System Settings > Desktop Effects > Enable Blur`. Note that this will not enable the blur effect on all applications.

2. Enable the blur effect on all applications by installing a KWin script called [Force Blur](https://store.kde.org/p/1294604/).

3. Go to `System Settings > KWin Scripts > Enable Force Blur`.

### If you're using Windows or Mac and something's wrong

1. I can't test it right now because I only have arch btw.

## TODOs:

- [ ] Fix UI inconsistencies

- [ ] Make all windows semi-transparent

- [ ] Clean up and remove redundancies

- [ ] Replace ugly icons

- [ ] Test it on different platforms
