New Wordpress and Colorful Firefox Tabs

First of all I upgraded to the new wordpress 2.0.1 release which fixes a lot of small bugs (114). I’m curious about the fix for XML-RPC uploading which will hopefully mean that posting images from within flock might actually work – I have to check that out.

Yesterday I found the simple but very useful firefox extension Colorful Tabs in the list of
10 Useful Firefox Extensions That Don’t Get Glamorised. By colorizing all the tabs with different colors it makes it easier to distinguish between tabs. The only thing that was missing was an easily visible highlightening for the active tab. This is why I modified the extension and added a shadow effect for all inactive tabs so that the active tab is sticking out a bit more. Here is how it looks:

I contacted the author of the Colorful Tabs extension, sent him the changes and I hope he will integrate them. For now you can try the shadow effect by using my experimental modfied version of clrtabs.jar. Just replace the file chrome/clrtabs.jar in the Colorful Tabs extension.
