The inversed color of the background color. Often useful in Windows environment, if you see very, very carefully..
actually, i don't think so. i think it's the middle section of the tab, the part that's not the left edge or the right edge. this was probably added for those corrected tabs that ben mentioned in his blog awhile back. after all, it's a class, not a color.
I wonder then why it is used here (in global/browser.css) unless of course tab-middle refers to everything inside the tab...
If that's the case, we would need to include stuff that is present in the default theme but not present in the custom theme just to override the default. I can see a use for what you are suggesting, but at the same time I can see problems, too.
Still passionate for Mozilla themes and extensions, just not actively developing them for public release anymore.
But if we wait that long, 1.1 will be out a long time before we have themes adapted to it. I'm hoping that the big changes--in the Options window, for example--will occur soon enough for us to make the changes to our themes in time to get them actually published to Moz Update in time for the official 1.1 release.
There is a considerable time lag between offering up a theme and having it posted--the last time I looked I still could not post directly. Maybe that will be fixed by 1.1?
In the mean time, making the 1.0+ changes to my files has not allowed the animated cursor to work. When I have more time, I have to make that happen. I'm working on a theme with 64x64 and 96x96 icons ATM; then I'll have to go back and modify all of the other six themes. And then there is something I have to do to make some of my themes Linux compatible. . . . I really feel for you guys that have many themes.
Luckely most of the changes are cosmetically, and and simple to catch up.
Let's hope that they (the mozilla developers) not introduce drastically new designs in the meantime.
Note, the new Options dialog layout (for 1.1) is allready including in some of the current themes for 1.0,
so for some things we (the mozilla themers) are ahead of the schedule....
