Minimal theme & startpage for geek people. Monochromatic & pastel colors. Keyboard centered.
Monolite theme aims to combine the beauty of pastel colors with monochromatic tones. Using small fonts, prioritizes screen space for greater vision range and increased productivity. On the other hand, we really recommend to use monolite startup page, designed for people who love terminal environment feeling & ascii art.
To start, you must clone the repo. You will get also the folder startup-page
, I really recommend you to follow steps to use it as startpage, cuz works with the same colorscheme and philosophy.
about:support
.Profile Folder
and click Open Folder
. This gives your Firefox Profile Folder.chrome
folder inside theme folder to your Profile Folder.about:config
set the following properties (changing the boolean value):
browser.search.widget.inNavBar
: falseservices.sync.prefs.sync.browser.urlbar.showSearchSuggestionsFirst
: falseObs. If you want to uninstall the theme, just must remove
chrome
folder inside your Firefox Profile Folder and restart your browser.
To start, you must clone the repo and move the folder startup-page
to a save place.
about:preferences#home
in your top search bar.file:///home/noriaku/Documents/startup-page/index.html
or a URL with your local webserver.By the way, for customize the startpage with your custom data (nickname, city, etc), you must edit the database placed at startup-page/src/database/profile.json
. It allows you to change the following fields:
Obs. I really recommend you to hostself your startup-page using any local webserver, for example, docker looks atractive for me. If not, weather api won't work cuz CORS problems. On the other hand, you must change the API coordinates with your own info inside index.js
, check: open meteo documentation, it's very easy & free.
As many people ask how use the startpage with a local web server: many extensions needs to work with local webserver, I'll explain step by step how configure your local web server using apache and a Linux distribution, in this case: debian.
sudo apt update; sudo apt install apache2; # Instructions for debian based distros.
start-page
inside apache web server pathsudo mv /path/to/startup-page/* /var/www/html
127.0.0.1
or localhost
(use that URL in your extension or firefox address for new tab).sudo systemctl enable apache2
Obs. Guide made for debian based distros, cuz of
apt
packages. On the other hand, I've tested this setup using the New Tab Override extension, and it works perfectly. Any questions, open a new issue.
Docker is another convenient way to host the start page. You must install docker, for that see docs.
docker
command. All the instructions are written inside Dockerfile.docker build -t startup-page .
8080
into something you want. At this point you must see your startup-page at localhost:8080
.docker run -d -p 8080:80 startup-page
user.js
file, in your Profile Directory path). This will do automatically the config, also you can use an extension of New Tab or manually change the URL to show as new firefox windows inside configuration./*
* Set startup page
* 0 = blank , 1 = home, 2 = last visited, 3 = resume previous session
*/
user_pref('browser.startup.page', 0);
/*
* Set home page
* about:home = Firefox Home, custom url, about:blank
*/
user_pref('browser.startup.homepage', 'http://localhost:<port>');
Obs. Using Docker with the -d option allows it to run as a background process, so it will operate each time you turn on your PC. On the other hand, if it does not work, you can try using:
docker run -d -p 8080:80 --restart=unless-stopped startup-page
, which will explicitly set it to do so.
