Project Structure

root
|- .gitattributes: Exclude at `Download Zip`
|- .github: Issue/PR Template, Github Actions
|- .prettierignore: Exclude coding style
|- .prettierrc.json: Coding style
|- icons/: Icons, illustrations
|- install.ps1: Install script write in powersehll
|- install.sh: Install script write in bash
|- LEPTON: Meta infos (branch, version)
|- user.js: about:config settings
|- userChrome.css: CSS for Browser UI
|- userContent.css: CSS for Web pages

Icon files

Most of them are made in SVG.

Except for illustrations, there must be an fill="context-fill" fill-opacity="context-fill-opacity" property to dynamically determine color and transparency.

Icons are mainly FirefoxUX/photon-icons or microsoft/fluentui-system-icons.

Meta Info files

It comes from install.sh.

LEPTON file format

If this file exist in same directory as the userChrome.css file, it is recognized as the "Lepton" installation directory.

[Info]
Branch=master | photon-style | proton-style
Ver=<git tag> | <git hash> | [NULL]

lepton.ini file Format

In lepton.ini, various information is stored during the installation process.
This file is recreated every time the installer is created.

[Profile Name]
Type=Local | Release | Git
Branch=master | photon-style | proton-style
Ver=<git tag> | <git hash> | [NULL]
Path=<Full PATH>

Update Policy according to Type

  • Local(unknown): force latest commit update
  • Release(): force latest tag update
  • Git: latest commit update

Restrictions

  • Cross Platform
    • Different compatibility issues occur in Win7, Win8, Win10, KDE, Gnome, Mac, etc.
    • Consider compatibility as much as possible, but use dedicated media queries in special cases
  • CSS Loading Order
    • User CSS(userChrome.css, userContent.css) is usually loaded first.
    • In many cases, overriding should be prevented with important!(Anti-pattern in general web), and side effects should also be considered.
  • DOM structure cannot be modified
    • It is possible with JS, but there are security and configuration issues, so we should make the most of CSS.
    • ::before and ::after can indirectly add CSS elements.
  • Shadow DOM
    • Firefox actively uses shadow dom internally
    • To modify, it is often a roundabout approach or impossible to inherit
  • XUL
    • Sometimes written and bound in C++ for performance, like a treeview of bookmarks.
    • The proper document does not exist, so we have to read the source code and work
    • Available CSS features are also restricted.
  • Side Effects

Rules

Version

Milestone, The versioning scheme we use is SemVer. (Maintainer decides, do not pull request.)

We will release the feature as soon as it is complete, but the cycle should be 2-4 weeks. Rapid releases.

It comes from #109.

Branch

Stable: Only bugfix, Documentation.

  • master: Common bugfix, documentation.
  • photon-style: Bugfix, documentation specified in photon-style.
  • proton-sryle: Bugfix, documentation specified in proton-style.

Development: New Features.

  • dev: Common new features.
  • photon-style-dev: New features specified in photon-style.

Issue

  • Versions:
  • Make sure you’re on the latest version.
  • Try older versions.
  • Try switching up dependency versions.
  • Search: Search the project’s issues to make sure it's not a known issue.

Coding style

  • Indent: 2 spaces for indentation rather than tabs.
  • Columns: Fit 80~100 columns as much as possible. (Auto formatting is using 120 to avoid the worst case)

Commit

  • Meaningfully:: It doesn't make meaningless commits.
  • One per task: It's difficult to distinguish when various tasks are mixed.
  • Often: Codes may corrupt during large changes.

Commit Message

For intuitive recognition, I put a prefix.
