About
PitchDark is a dark theme set for Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird aimed at users who prefer the negative color scheme (light text on dark background). While it is a dark theme it is designed with visibility, usability, and maximum screen real estate in mind. My inspiration was the Phoenity Dark themes (by Lim Chee Aun and Tom Wilson), which are currently outdated.
Design Considerations
PitchDark is meant to maintain the light text on dark background look, but instead uses dark harmonious natural tones, with black as accents. I like grays and blacks, but most dark themes take it to an extreme. The “birch” colored dark brown was chosen specifically to avoid blending in or detracting from fresh website designs that use black and gray for webpage backgrounds.
To reduce the amount of image work required, I’ve moved to the standard icon sets for Firefox and Thunderbird. Future versions may make use of the Tango icon set or have custom icons.
Download
The lastest builds and previous versions can be found at the Mozilla Addons site:
- PitchDark for Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1529
- PitchDark for Thunderbird: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2106
Donate
I’m a proponent of free software, but members of the community sometimes ask for a way to show their support. If you happen to be in a giving mood, please consider donating (securely) to me via paypal. Thanks!

Recommend not extending this theme to options menus or the download window. White lettering on gray background is unreadable. Last update has apparently fixed options menus but not download window. When browser loses focus the “file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help’ (top left) area of the browser is “grayed out”. Otherwise, the best dark theme, hands down.

I like the Pitch Dark theme for Thunderbird, but I just discovered that Pitch Dark 3.0.0 hides the Manage Identities and the Config buttons in the account settings of Thunderbird 3.0.4
