This is really a brilliant idea !
But I could not make it work with Tab Mix Plus, even with the suggested alternative colorizeTab function…
Has anyone managed to have both working at the same time ?

Nice. The main problem is that it currently is difficult to tell what the currently selected tab is.

in allowed Chromatabs to work if tabmix installed replace colorizeTab function in chromatabs.js with this:

colorizeTab : function (tab) {

var doc, i, hashstring, hashvalue, node;

var color = CHROMATABS.computeTabColor(tab);
if (!color) { return; }

doc = tab.ownerDocument;

if (0) {
tab.style.backgroundColor = color;

node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-image-left tab-startcap tab-left tab-left-border”);
node.style.opacity = 0.8;
node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-middle box-inherit tab-image-middle tab-body”);
node.style.opacity = 0.8;
// node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-close-button”);
// node.style.opacity = 0.8;
node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-image-right tab-endcap tab-right tab-right-border”);
node.style.opacity = 0.8;
}

if (1) {
node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-image-left tab-startcap tab-left tab-left-border”);
CHROMATABS.renderImage(tab, node, color, false);
node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-middle box-inherit tab-image-middle tab-body”);
CHROMATABS.renderImage(tab, node, color, false);
// node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-close-button”);
// CHROMATABS.renderImage(tab, node, color, false);
node = doc.getAnonymousElementByAttribute(tab, “class”, “tab-image-right tab-endcap tab-right tab-right-border”);
CHROMATABS.renderImage(tab, node, color, false);
}

It sounds like you hit something like https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359568. Can you attach a testcase to that bug?

This also helps with phishing — different site, different colour!

With the default Windows / Linux theme, it’s all dead easy. The images are semi-transparent, the borders are rounded. You can apply any color. That’s how I did it with Aging Tabs. If you could encourage that the Mac theme gets updated accordingly with 2.0.0.x, that would be great.
