The best style for me

I was not even aware that this style was in effect on my computer, for years. But when I installed Opera on a friends computer I wanted to setup a style as nice, bright but discrete as the one I was used to. Couldn't find one.

Only after returning to my workplace I figured it was this dance__n__shout style that was so great.

Thank you very much!

Can tabs be modified...

…such that they have no bottom border? I mean: the selected tab “flood” into the rest of the widget, like window tab do. That would be also more coherent with the rest of your (wonderful) skin.

I agree that it would be somewhat more coherent but what about the shadow around the active tab?

I would go without it...

While the window tabs are “3D” the ones in Prefs & co look flat, so I wouldn't put any shadow. I was thinking about the way prefs tabs are designed in the skin “D.T.A” that I also like very much. Anyway: just my 2 cents. Thanks again for your good work.

In your original post you

In your original post you referred to dialog or pagebar tabs?

Glad you like the skin.

Dialog.

Sorry if I wasn't clear (english is not my primary language :) I have tried myself to modify the skin but I have no experiences so I can't understand what I'm doing wrong… Here you find a picture of what I'm triyng to achieve.

Ah, now I see. Changing this

Ah, now I see. Changing this border is not as trivial as it appears. I'll try to modify it in one of the next versions.

Hi, very nice skin, thanks

Hi,

very nice skin, thanks for the effort. There's something that bothers me, though, and that's the text becoming bold on hover on the tab bar and personal bar. What do I need to change in the skin.ini to change that?
