Oh my. I had just stumbled upon this article again and it irked me so much that I did not notice, that I’ve already commented on the same thing before!

Sorry about that

Please make the caption buttons look native. All the theming inconsistency is already a horrible problem with Windows, please don’t make it worse.

@Stephen

Thanks for your reply! Previously, I had heard that curved tabs were near impossible, which is why I was both happy and confused when I saw your mockup for the new Australis theme a couple weeks back. I’m glad to hear that this is indeed within the realm of what’s possible

@Brandon: Thanks!

I don’t have a specific implementation plan, since I likely won’t be implementing it We can, and do, use border-image. The problems historically have been using negative margins to get the correct overlap since it tends to cause bugs with overflow and drag-and-drop.

I don’t doubt these are solvable problems, it might just take some rework of the tabstrip.

@Stephen

These mockups are simply amazing. Your work is greatly appreciated

I have to ask one question out of curiosity though, what’s your plan for implementing the curved tabs? SoapyHamHocks used border-images in his Australis theme, but I don’t that that’s an option for Mozilla, right?

@Ken Saunders: In regards to the proposed new tab shape if it doesn't work out in practice then we can move to something else. I also recommend trying the Australis theme from SoapyHamhocks to get a feel for it. The icons on the far left are the Home Tab and an example App Tab (Forrst in the mockups)
