RFE: use colours instead of bold for Tab States
Last modified: 2013-05-27 16:12:17 UTC
Hi, right now the tab state extensions changes the label of a tab to a bold text, when the site has loaded. Unfortunately the bold text is always black, which makes it hard or impossible to read when you use a dark theme. Please use the text color supplied by the current theme. Thx for reading this and for creating such a wonderful browser. Other information:
Thanks for the bug report! The problem was that there was also a colour applied to the label, but the default wasn't set correctly (so it ended up black). I've disabled colours now until they're themeable (gtk+ bug 114355). I'm morphing the bug accordingly.
Once we get themeable colors, can you please turn off the bold text in loaded tabs? It is irritating when the bold text causes the tabs to change size.
Themeable colours are in gtk 2.10 (gnome 2.16); so targetting for e-e 2.0.
Reading the code, this should be a trivial #define, as e-e depends now on gtk 2.11.6. Christian, do we want to remove bold text as proposed in comment #2 or should we just add #define ENABLE_COLOURS?
I guess the best way to do this would be to create a EphyTabLabel widget, which would install style properties for 'loading-color' and 'unread-color'.
According to its developer, epiphany-extensions is not under active development anymore. (For reference: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2013-May/msg00035.html and bug 700924.) It is unlikely that there will be any further active development. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping - Please feel free to reopen this bug report in the future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
