Opacity incompatibility with Dark Reader add-on in Firefox.

[Kratorator]

Even with Opacity set at maximum, it is still (maybe 50%?) transparent when used with Dark Reader, in both Dark and Light mode. I also posted an issue in https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader.

Maybe you two could communicate about this (small) problem.

Yes, the min opacity is 25%: https://github.com/luben/load-progress-bar/blob/master/settings/options.html#L39 - this does not depend on darkreader or not.

Can I ask why you want opacity to be lower?

Hi, I want FULL opacity when it's set at full opacity! (no transparency) Bye, chrr

Yes, but why? If we allow full opacity the progress bar will not show at all. This will lead to users complaining that the add-on does not work.

JHCOAFRC It seems that you confuse opacity with transparency. When I drag the slider for Thickness all the way to the right, it is at 100% thickness, right? so when I drag the slider for Opacity all the way to the right, it's at 100% opacity, right? Opacity is the opposite of transparency. 100% OPACITY = 0% TRANSPARENCY = FULLY VISIBLE. 100% TRANSPARENCY = 0% OPACITY = invisible. I want the Load Progress Bar to be FULLY VISIBLE, so I drag the slider to 100% OPACITY. It works fine WITHOUT Dark Reader. My progress bar color is RGB(255, 255, 0) which is fluo yellow. Very visible. If I turn ON Dark Reader, that yellow is NOT FULLY OPAQUE (=not 100% opacity), even though the opacity slider IS at 100% opacity, all the way to the right. The progress bar is the color of sick old mustard, because it is partly opaque (maybe 60%) and partly transparent (maybe 40%). This only happens when Dark Reader is active. Ciao, chrr

Hmm, yes, I was confusing the opacity/transparency. Looked at the code - it sets it to 100%. Tried it in combination with the darkreader extension and indeed the color looks muted. On closer inspection, the dark-reader installs a global style and I guess that also affects the color of the progress bar. I still cannot figure how it does that and is it possible to work around it.
