Apple - Is there a way to make Safari open a dark blank page?
There may be other ways to do this, but a simple way would be to create your own homepage, which could look anyway you like. Then, just set the Homepage in Safari to point at that file.
Make a file called "home.html" with these contents:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="background:#333;">
<head>
<title>New Tab</title>
</head>
</html>
Open that file with Safari, and use the preferences dialog to set the homepage to the current page. Also set new tabs and windows to start on your homepage.
Extending on the answer provided earlier, you can make a simple html file, and save it in your home directory or somewhere, and then set up your General Safari preferences like this:
Then when Safari starts up, or you open a new tab it'll be the nice darker empty page:
The previous solutions for the blank dark page do not auto-focus on the address bar, one solution is to set a custom safari stylesheet and change body color to dark.
Create darkblanksafari.css as below:
@media screen,projection,tv {
body {
background-color: #1c1c1c;
}
}
Now set Style Sheet to the file through Advanced tab in Safari Preferences:
It leads to less eye strain and less glaring white pages in your late nights while keeping your internet experience intact, because most websites replace body background color with their own.
