And by design this will be useful for the random coloring option only. </p> http://www.binaryturf.com/forum/low-priority/make-tab-colors-more-random#post-1915 Wed, 19 Jan 2011 17:56:44 +0000 trlkly 1915@http://www.binaryturf.com/forum/ <p>This is what I came to suggest. Implementation would involve storing the last few random tab colors in an array, and comparing all random colors against the array. The comparison would involve doing an OR check on each of the rgb values: something like</p> <pre><code>if (Math.abs(r2 - r1) &gt; 20 || Math.abs(g2 - g1) &gt; 20 || Math.abs(b2 - b1) &gt; 20) {&lt;br /&gt;      //get new random color } else {&lt;br /&gt;      //store color in array, probably using Array.unshift }</code></pre> http://www.binaryturf.com/forum/low-priority/make-tab-colors-more-random#post-735 Sat, 21 Mar 2009 21:56:36 +0000 dcma 735@http://www.binaryturf.com/forum/ <p>Sometimes the tabs colors are very close to each other (e.g. multiple shades of blue), as you might expect if the colors are chosen truly randomly. These occurrences make it slightly difficult to quickly determine which tab is open, especially when the tabs are adjoining.</p> <p>Could the tab color selection process be improved to ensure that there is a reasonable contrast in tab colors for better identification by dispersing the colors across the visible spectrum, sort of a random rainbow effect?</p> <p>Thanks. It's a great Firefox add-on. </p>
