How do you make complete themes for Firefox 57?

I have been avoiding this problem for a while as there has been reduced functionality in the theme I used since Firefox version 56. FXChrome no longer works and I would like to replace it myself. All I have found on how to create a theme is an archived "obsolete" page, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Themes/Building_a_Theme. I have knowledge of both Java and CSS, so writing the theme isn't a problem. I would like to create something that goes beyond the "simple theme" as I need to customize the icons and other styling. Is there any current documentation of how to do this?

I believe I found my answer on the FAQ Page.

  • What happened to my complete theme?
  • Complete themes do not work with Firefox 57 and are disabled. If you use a dark complete theme, the Dark Theme option in the Add-on Manager might be a good option for you. Go to the Themes tab in about:addons and give it a try. We are making improvements to themes in the coming months, so look for themes with additional functionality beyond an image overlay in future releases.
