I don't think so. What you want is this:
1. Install Stylish 1.2 (needs compatibility override for SM 2.2) or do
the below in your userChrome.css
2. add this style:
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] hbox {

The color is just an example (you can choose what you like), and you can

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!
Now, how do I change the color to a light blue?

Ant wrote: Jens Hatlak wrote: ColorfulTabs 4.8.1.6.1 works with compatibility checks disabled. (...) On Linux or Mac it will say it's only for Windows, but you can safely ignore that and click Install for Windows anyway. Wait. Works with: * Firefox 4.0b1 - 4.0.*. I am still using v4.6.5 in my SM v2.0.14. Are you saying we can use newer versions that don't say SM? I'm saying you can use that very version that I specified. Unfortunately add-on authors do not always update the compatibility information in all places. Basically there are two: What AMO claims, and what the add-on file (XPI/install.rdf) claims. The latter determines which applications the add-on is compatible with. If an application (e.g. SeaMonkey) is not listed there, the add-on won't install, even if AMO tells differently (e.g. that's the case with Slim Add-on Manager version 5.0). I know that sucks, but it's a fact. Now if an add-on file claims compatibility with any version of SeaMonkey and you have the Add-on Compatibility Reporter installed, then you'll be able to install that add-on, even if AMO says it's not compatible with that application. This is the case with ColorfulTabs 4.8.1.6.1. Lastly, if an add-on file claims compatibility with an application but with a lower version than what AMO claims, AMO wins. This is actually a good thing since it allows add-on authors to simply bump the AMO data and be done with it; no need to release new files. Now if only AMO was able to check its own compatibility claims against those of the add-on file in question... HTH Jens P.S.: Before anyone asks: I won't check into those AMO deficiencies. AFAIK they switched their back-end from PHP to Python, and my abilities there are 10:0. -- Jens Hatlak http://jens.hatlak.de/ SeaMonkey Trunk Tracker http://smtt.blogspot.com/ ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

I've found a workaround within Colorful Tabs. I've been playing with the
settings, trying to figure out how the thing works. Just setting the Fading
Level to about 6 fades the non-active tab colors only, letting the active tab
stand out nicely.
If that stops working I'll try your suggestion with Stylish!

I know that was one of the things I found to be better by simply
changing from the default Theme to the SM Modern Theme. In either case
the active tab is highlighted, but I prefer the look/feel of SM Modern.

Add to your userChrome.css:
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] .tab-close-button {
background-color: #88 !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover .tab-close-button {
background-color: #BB !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any
larger.

I also find that's it's become nearly impossible to identify the active tab in SM 2.1. This is a pretty big problem to me -- I hope a solution will be forthcoming! OTOH, please keep the single x for closing tabs! It's one of the best features of SM, relative to IE and a few other browsers I occasionally use. If a user is having trouble locating a single x, imagine their trouble locating multiple x's on each tab! ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

The active tab needs to be highlighted with a different color, so it's easy
to see. Firefox accomplishes this by making the active tab lighter, which
works fine. If there's any difference in SeaMonkey, I can't see it with my
CRT monitor. I realize that LCD monitors render grayscales better, but
SeaMonkey should take that into consideration. I've looked through the
settings and can't find any way to fix this, so presume it's built-in(?).
Apparently the only way to close a tab in SeaMonkey with the mouse is to
click the little x at the rightside of the tab bar, but it's too small to
hit easily quickly with the mouse pointer. Also that's much less
satisfactory than having an x on each tab. Without an x on each tab, it's
necessary to first select a tab then click the x. Very cumbersome. Or am I
overlooking something obvious as a newbie? Yes, I'm aware of the keyboard
shortcuts affecting tabs, but I normally use a mouse for these operations.
Add to your userChrome.css:
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true] .tab-close-button {
background-color: #88 !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]:hover .tab-close-button {
background-color: #BB !important;
color: #fff !important;
}
This will hilite the active tab to blue. Dunno about making the X any
larger.
I tried this on 2.0.14 and it works a treat!
It's nice to have experts around. Thanks Jay!

lasted about 2 days with it; changed it to SM Modern and have been as

Re: tabs in SeaMonkey 2.2 browser poorly designed
Interviewed by CNN on 11/07/2011 23:16, Felix Miata told the world: You're overlooking the context menu, and overlooking what happens to users who keep open many tabs in browsers with an X button on every tab. Imagine yourself trying to hit the correct X if an X was on every tab in the above picture. First thing I do in every new FF profile is get the Xs off the tabs. One feature of the Multizilla mega-extension I liked was the ability to have the X and the site icon in the same space: it normally looked like the site icon, but if you hovered the mouse over it it turned into the X. It saved a lot of space on the tab bar. Yes, some users might prefer to remove the icon entirely, leaving only text. That's their choice. But I think that the x-when-hover is a nice middle ground. (Chrome went the other way, keeping the X but removing the site icon... it's one of the things I don't like on it.) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
