How to solve the white screen problem?

[i110077]

Every time I open it, it flashes a white screen, very annoying, is there a way to solve it?
Thanks

Also getting this issue, maybe this closed issue from the TST repo might help?

This should be fixed (or at least improved) in the next beta release, though it's still possible to get that contrast flash depending on system theme, Appearance config of Firefox (Automatic/Light/Dark) and Firefox theme used.

For more context, I have dark mode set in both Windows and Firefox settings and have set Firefox theme in the Sidebery settings to match my theme, will this specific config be fixed in the new beta?

Unrelated questions:
How do I hide the recently closed tabs button at the bottom of the panel (I'm new to Sidebery and vertical tabs in general)?

Why is the version on the Firefox store is so old?

will this specific config be fixed in the new beta?
Yes, it should, as long as system theme and Firefox are both dark/light. But I didn't test Windows specifically, so there is still some probability for that issue.

How do I hide the recently closed tabs button at the bottom of the panel (I'm new to Sidebery and vertical tabs in general)?
In b31 you need to use this custom CSS (In Sidebery editor):

.TabsPanel .bottom-bar {
  display: none;
}

In b32 you will be able to turn it off in settings.

Why is the version on the Firefox store is so old?
Because sidebery was rewritten from the ground (mostly) and I wanted to experiment with some ideas...(this is a project for fun after all) But, v5 is almost ready. The rough roadmap looks like that: Performance optimizations, at least major bug fixes, tests, docs and I'll update stable version. There will no new big features until v5.

Thanks for the detailed response, as a uni student I know that Sidebery will be a game changer for me!

Should be fixed in v5.0.0. Feel free to reopen if not.
