🔔🔔 A project redesign is in progress. #351
It's built with SCSS and all configured as options. \\
It's in beta testing, and I'am looking forward to hearing from you.

** Introduction
[[https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Proton][Proton]] is Firefox's new design, starting from Firefox 89. \\
[[https://design.firefox.com/photon/][Photon]] is the old design of Firefox which was used until version 88.
Proton's [[#why-proton][overall feel is good]], but there were a few things I [[#why-not-proton][didn't like]] and wanted to improve. \\
That's why this project was born, and Lepton to denote light theme layer.
Lepton's photon styled is preserve Photon's feeling while keep [[https://github.com/black7375/Firefox-UI-Fix][Original Lepton]].'s strengths.
/Disclaimer:/ It works on *Firefox 89* and above!!

** WHY Proton?
I think a lot has improved.
[[https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25581533/119773764-a6639e00-beb0-11eb-8023-498b6293c4b2.png]]
(Proton's design :arrow_up:)
- Neatly organized menu
- Icon beautiful enough to remind you of Edge
- Nice color scheme
- Satisfied Rounding
- Modal window & Scrollbar!!
** WHY Not Proton?
However, there are also many flaws.
[[https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/25581533/119773812-b5e2e700-beb0-11eb-923c-55ae1a8ca249.png]]
(Photon's design :arrow_up:)
- Is it a tab or a button?
- Where are the menu icons?
- Icons in ActivityStream are too small
- Padding gaps are wide
- :warning: Address bar 3-point menu, screenshot moves to toolbar (can't fix)
** Padding Comparisons
