Originally yes, but after announcing the graphic I've noticed that the color would be just too strong if it is used so excessively (or let's say it burns out the eyes *g*). So your question points out a major issue. I've created another proposal which now uses the module colors [1] only in the most upper part of each tab. And, I've switched to the website color palette, so this should improve the consistency in comparison with the rest of the website (if that would be a requirement). This direction, please: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tTTNPiZLsHQQ8pzpSGA6Iw?feat=directlink If anybody wants to know: I've made several attempts to apply the OOo header tab style (in the upper part of the website), but it creates too much visual noise if the module colors are kept. John, I hope that answers your question.
