Can I make private mode more distinct? Different colored tabs etc.

The only thing that really differentiates private mode with normal browsing is the little purple circle in each end of the menu bar. I'd like the whole menu bar to get a different color - is this possible in any way?

All the extensions I've found that claim to do this don't play well with dark themed firefox. (Technically default theme on dark win10.) Also they don't work well with the latest versions of firefox.

While composing a list of extensions I'd already tried I came across https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/purple-private-windows/?src=search which seems to do the job properly. :D
