This event is not fired for changes to the built-in themes.

js
browser.theme.onUpdated.addListener(listener)
browser.theme.onUpdated.removeListener(listener)
browser.theme.onUpdated.hasListener(listener)

Events have three functions:

addListener(listener)

hasListener(listener)

Check whether listener is registered for this event. Returns true if it is listening, false otherwise.

addListener syntax

Parameters

listener

The function called when this event occurs. The function is passed these arguments:

updateInfo

object. An object containing two properties:

theme

object. If the event fired because an extension-supplied theme was removed, this is an empty object. If it fired because an extension-supplied theme was applied, then it is a theme.Theme object representing the theme that was applied.

windowId Optional

integer. The ID of the window in which the theme was updated. If this property is not present, the theme was updated in all windows.

Examples

js
function handleUpdated(updateInfo) {
  if (updateInfo.theme.colors) {
    console.log(`Theme was applied: ${updateInfo.theme}`);
  } else {
    console.log(`Theme was removed`);
  }
}
browser.theme.onUpdated.addListener(handleUpdated);
