How to make the "dark" theme completely dark?

After installing the 57 version I was really disappointed about the "dark" theme, which is not dark at all. Yes, it makes the top of the browser dark, but all menus (context, bookmarks, new tab, etc.) still white, which hurt my eyes so mach. I was using the FT DeepDark complete theme in previous version and what I have now is just unacceptable. Is there any way to make the new Firefox really completely dark?

Chosen solution

userChrome.css and userContent.css with CSS code. I currently use this on Developer Edition and Nightly. You need to create both .css files in a chrome folder inside your profile folder. Go to about:support --> Profile Folder --> Open Folder --> Create new folder named chrome, inside, create userContent.css and userChrome.css

Put the code into their respective files and restart Firefox.

I also have some code for a floating scrollbar if you're interested.

I'm not the OP but I'd love the floating scrollbar code if you can, Moses. My eyes love you for the code you've already posted.

Thank you so much!

Sure thing. You need to add toolbarbutton#alltabs-button {

   -moz-binding: url("userChrome.xml#js");

} into your userChrome file, then you need to download the below userChrome.xml and userChrome.js files and add them to your chrome folder.
