[Feature Request] Compatibility with Tab Mix Plus (text on tab)

Open mindstormer12 opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Currently, Tab Mix Plus's options on the behavior and aesthetics of tabs has no effect on Tab Tree (whereas it works completely fine on Tree Style Tab). As a result, I can't do any cool things like double-click the tab to reload it, middle-click it to undo close tab (Tab Tree has this option and I enabled it but it doesn't work--it is apparently bugged). I can't change the color of the text as well as define whether it should be normal, bolded, or italicized depending on whether the tab is current, inactive, or unloaded. Also, I can't right-click on the empty space next to where the pinned tabs are for a useful context-menu.

Also, it is difficult to discern the current tab: http://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/3415/a7YNoN.png I think the highlighting for the tab should be more obvious (stronger contrast). I'm not sure why, but I seem to get lost or disoriented when I keep track of the tabs and navigate to different tabs that I was on--I never had this problem with Tree Style Tab. I suspect it's because the tabs are too close together, the font is too small or the text is not bold enough (especially on the current tab), or there is no line border between them. I suspect it's the first two reasons.

Lastly, I'm not sure why the addon causes some tabs to have a red title--these tabs seem to have a red title if I click on them to load it and then switch to another tab before the page is loaded.

difficult to discern the current tab

Try "Dark" theme instead of "Try to mimic the Firefox theme" — it uses hardcoded colors.

The text on the tab titles should be almost white. Look at screenshots at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-tree/ And that's how it looks on my computer ("Try to mimic the Firefox theme"): 96 pale colors When "Try to mimic the Firefox theme" is chosen this add-on uses CSS variables set by Firefox:

/* Chrome */
--chrome-secondary-background-color
--chrome-nav-bar-controls-border-color

/* Tabs */
--tabs-toolbar-color
--tab-background-color
--tab-hover-background-color
--tab-selection-color
--tab-selection-background-color
--tab-selection-box-shadow

/* Url and search bars */
--url-and-searchbar-background-color
--url-and-searchbar-color

It's interesting what OS do you use?

a red title

It's the "Highlight unloaded tabs: (extensions.tabtree.highlight-unread-tabs)" option (5th from the top)

I have a different request that happens to fit under the same title, should I open it as a new request instead?

I happen to like TMP for the auto-focus feature, but lose that capability when using TabTree. I guess it's something to do with not having tab bars anymore... would there be any workaround for that, or would that take a code fix?

auto-focus feature

What's it? I couldn't find it in TMP options.

Sorry, my bad, it doesn't use that terminology, I should've said "Mouse Gestures"... check off the top option in the Mouse Gestures tab, and the default timing is 250ms.

I thumbs up to paxe request 👍, came searching if somebody already asked for it. It radically reduces stress in hand, because you don't click to select tabs anymore, just hover a tab and gets selected. In TMP is in: Mouse > Mouse Gestures > Select tab pointed for .... msec Please highly consider this
