940024 - Australis, Aero Glass: The tab title text and change notification glow isn't very prominent on background/inactive tabs

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Theme, defect)

Description

See the screenshot : http://i.snag.gy/36LUp.jpg


Since Australis has a much lighter tab strip background (color), the blue glow (which is there on the second pinned tab of twitter) is hardly visible until you know its there.

Along with the fact that the background white items are also getting blurred and they mix up with the glows very easily.

I think that the glow color/tint/whatever needs to be changed.

Some ux love needed !

Also doesn't look great on Win8's theme, though I hear that will probably be solved when the rest of the Win8 theme stuff lands...

The glow is opaque enough in restored mode. It looks like the problem is that the background fog isn't getting moved up in maximized mode so it is overlaying on the more translucent section.

The screenshot in comment 0 is from restored more only. The glow's intensity can actually vary depending on what you have behind the firefox window.

Oh, yeah, I see now. Would have to make the fog more opaque.
