I counted 3 zooms times before the 'y' in History started being truncated (Both WinXP & Ubuntu, FF 3.0.5). After 5 zooms, all characters started being truncated. That seems pretty reasonable - are you using some special font? >>> * The tab shows no indication of existence (real link or redlink) until >>> hovering (see most Discussion pages). >> >> WikiSkin feedback should be posted over on [email protected]. >> >> There is probably not much that can be done with the truncated text when >> you zoom in on text.

In a few years, when there is wider browser support for border-radius, we will be able to create them using pure CSS - till then, the tabs remain as images for browser compatibility purposes. > The strange part here is that the tabs are plenty large enough to hold the > zoomed text, but the text seems to expand downward instead of upward.

The text moves downward because of the top padding which is required to center the text in the tabs. I switched to a line-height solution but it only produced a marginal improvement. Because the tab div has a specific vertical height, it is not allowed to expand even if it wants to - if it were, the text would remain vertically centered. There are reasons why a specific height is set for the navigation, but if this feature is needed, I could investigate further. >> The tab colors use the same color scheme as the main OOo website.

The impression this gives is that the blue = "you are on this tab", > while the grey = "inactive, you are not here". Quite a two-pipe problem.

I'm not sure what you mean by color/shading - as far as I know, every .new (action = edit) link has a different style to its standard counterpart. As for the case where the discussion tab remains grey when it is active, this is a good point and I've added a fix for it in the CSS - it'll be online when Clayton and I sort out the upcoming OOoSkin / CSS fix (should be in the next day or two).
