Sapphire Nebula

A background for your new tab with Hoome

Veils of royal blue fraying over black, with flashes of glacier blue where the light breaks through.

The Sapphire Nebula theme in the browser, with the Hoome extension

Install the theme in your browser

The theme is free. It dresses your browser frame: tabs, address bar and new tab. Pick your browser:

Hoome on every browser

What moves

Sapphire Nebula, from the Nebulae family: the still version of the browser theme is an image, and it is in Hoome, on your new tab, that this background moves. Thin veils over deep black, with stars showing through. The background is computed live by your computer, and stops while the tab is hidden. The speed slider slows it down, doubles it or freezes it, and it stays still if your system asks for reduced motion.

On Firefox, this theme also comes in an animated version, on its own listing: the background drifts slowly behind the tabs, the address bar and the bookmarks bar, with or without the Hoome extension.

Its colours

Shades of midnight blue, royal blue and glacier blue, over a near-black ground. Hoome’s interface picks up the dominant colour for its panels.

Even better with Hoome

The theme dresses your browser. To get this background animated on your new tab page, with your shortcuts, folders and widgets, add the Hoome extension.
