Tab text color

I am currently Aluminum Alloy skin for Firefox. It works fine except for one problem. The tab text is almost impossible to see because it is white and the tab backgrounds are E4E7ED. I tried changing my userChrome.css file and i do know CSS but it wasnt working. What should i use to change the text color of tabs?

If you are using the same method as me [here]

then you need to make sure you have installed tabbrowser extensions. Also this method only works on 1.0 PR, which is not the latest version of Firefox.

I posted this problem at Neowin some time ago and responded to Dufrane at AeroSoft today when he posted this very same problem.

No one has yet hacked the new TBE for Firefox 1.0 - afaik. The only workaround I know of is to not use TBE and use the non-TBE themes available at the bottom of this page : Link

If anyone can help me hack the TBE and have readable text colours and a non-chopped off Close button, I'd be more than happy to sing your praises

I don't exactly remember the solution but I had the same problem back in the day when I still used Windblows

Make sure you drop the tabextension.jar or whatever in your userchrome folder, I think that solved it (I may have the file names wrong :/)

Wait... so you guys are saying that with this the themes on this site will work fine on Firefox 1.0 Final? What about when you hit Ctrl+F? Does it pop up a normal looking search bar on bottom?

I don't know about the Find bar, mine was broken by CuteMenus.

I dunno what Cutemenus is... but are you saying you don't ever use Ctrl+F?

#258592

I do use it, but all the icon for cutemenus appear in the bar making it huge.
