Guess I missed that. I just tried StyleTab, and I'll just be honest - it's hideous. I can't imagine black going well with any default desktop themes out there. I don't see anywhere to configure the colors, but guess that is normal. Plus there are just a mess of buttons taking the the majority of the horizontal titlebar space of a full-screen window on my netbook. And I have no clue what most of these buttons do, and since there are not tooltips (a sawfish limitation? or?), I may never know what some of them are supposed to do. I guess having a tab-capable theme is a good default. Not sure how useful this rant is... or what, if any, actionable items I would suggest... Leaving tab support aside, who prefers the aesthetic appeal of StyleTab over Crux? Suggestions? -E --- -- Sawfish ML
