Feature request - Thicker Tabs-bottom

    Right below the tab and above the window there is a thin area that spans the width of the window. Could that be made just a bit thicker? It would help in the sense that ones with poor eyesight (like me) can tell which tab is active. Other than that, this is a wonderful product!

    Sounds reasonable to be implemented as an option.

    I just logged in to make this exact same request. It would really help to pick out the active tab from among a whole lot of tabs if that little strip that carries the tab color all the way across the top of the active window was made thicker. It's just a bit too thin and hard to see, especially at high resolution, and against other tabs of a similar color, but with transparency of inactive tabs increased and that strip thickened, even tabs the same color would be easier to differentiate from the active tab. Hope this is in the works!

    I've looked almost everywhere and haven't been able to figure out how to do this. If you know some userchrome.css hack or other trick do drop a line.

    This works for me:

    .tabs-bottom
    {
    height: 5px !important;
    margin-bottom: -1px !important;
    }
    .tabbrowser-tabs
    {
    margin-bottom: 1px !important;
    }

    For me the line was 4px from the beginning, so above is the smallest increase possible.
    If you want it thicker, follow these steps:

    1. Change the height to the desired thickness.
    2. Change margin-bottom below .tabbrowser-tabs to [your height] minus 4.
    3. Change margin-bottom below .tabs-bottom to the same value as above, but negative.

    So if you want it to be 8px thick, for example, it should look like this:

    .tabs-bottom
    {
    height: 8px !important;
    margin-bottom: -4px !important;
    }
    .tabbrowser-tabs
    {
    margin-bottom: 4px !important;
    }

    We are working to make it thicker for Firefox 4. If you are using a beta version of Firefox 4 you can download Colorfultabs for Firefox 4 and try it. Additionally we are going to create a preference for it's width to ensure usability.
