# 1. First, enable custom CSS in Zen Browser
about:config → toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets → true
# 2. Locate your profile folder
about:support → Profile Directory → Open Directory
# 3. Create chrome folder if needed
mkdir -p chrome
# 4. Copy theme files
cp userChrome.css userContent.css /path/to/chrome/
# 5. Restart Zen Browser
Every aspect of Zenhanced is designed to be easily customizable:
- Color Scheme - Modify CSS variables in the theme files
- Animations - Adjust transition timings or disable effects
- Spacing - Fine-tune margins and padding throughout the UI
- Borders - Change border widths, colors, and radius values
The CSS files include extensive comments explaining each component, making customization accessible even to CSS beginners.
:root {
/* CLI-style interface colors */
--cli-border-color: rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.55); /* Adjust to taste */
--cli-border-hover-color: rgba(220, 220, 220, 0.75); /* Hover state */
--cli-corner-radius: 3px; /* Consistent radius */
/* Many more customization options available */
}
