Request: change private tab highlight to be more obvious
Hello, Would it be possible to add a configuration option to change how the tab is highlighted when it's a Private one? The current underline is not very obvious, especially on a high-res screen, so it would be good if there was an option to make Private Tabs stand out more (e.g. maybe reverse the background/foreground colours?). Apart from this small thing, it's a great add-on. Thanks for your work!
The same reason Firefox don't have a dark theme for Private Browsing: it would have been too obvious you are using private browsing if someone walks by, and if it is your employeer, he would probably ask to see the private tab or window's content.
You don't really want that, since it is private browsing.

It's very difficult to make something compatible with all OS and OS versions... With tab-related extensions and themes. Anyway, there is some examples for userChrome.css/Stylish: https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab#styles

It depends on each user's circumstances, which is why I thought it could be a config option. For myself, I'm not really bothered about other people being able to spot that I'm in Private mode, but a clearer visual reminder would be handy.
Using Stylish looks to be an interesting workaround for this though. Thank you to everyone for the suggestions!
Stylish works fine; I used a customised https://userstyles.org/styles/117727/firefox-private-tab-badge
