[?] Contact List Tab Borders by Nagamasa on 04-05-2008 at 09:37 PM

I've been trying to get rid of the borders in between and around the tabs in the contact list, but without success. How do I get rid of them?

Thanks.

923 style
look for

code:
button[class="TabButton"]
{
foreground:argb(0,152,151,139);
Accessible:true;
AccRole:43;
tooltip:true;
animation:rectanglev|fast|log;
alpha:192;
padding:rect(1,1,0,1);
}
button[class="TabButton"][enabled=false]
{
foreground:rgb(128,128,128);
alpha:178;
}
button[class="TabButton"][selected]
{
alpha:255;
background:argb(0,255,255,255);
padding:rect(0,0,0,0);
BorderColor:argb(0,0,0,0);
BorderThickness:rect(0,0,1,0);
}

and include the padding, so that borders will be out of the window or change all border thickness to 0 (in mine, i let like that so that the active tab would have a black line outside the tab)

here's the result:

Not working...I've like spammed every value possible:

code:
button[class="TabButton"]
{
foreground:argb(0,0,0,0);
Accessible:true;
AccRole:43;
tooltip:true;
animation:rectanglev|fast|log;
alpha:192;
padding:rect(0,0,0,0);
BorderThickness:rect(0,0,0,0);
}
button[class="TabButton"][enabled=false]
{
foreground:argb(0,0,0,0);
alpha:178;
BorderThickness:rect(0,0,0,0);
padding:rect(0,0,0,0);
}
button[class="TabButton"][selected]
{
alpha:255;
background:argb(0,255,255,255);
padding:rect(0,0,0,0);
BorderColor:argb(0,0,0,0);
BorderThickness:rect(0,0,0,0);
}

Try doing it in the definition file. Don't know where exactly but when I wanted to remove a border, it wasn't removed from the style file whereas when I tried finding it in the definition it worked perfectly. I had changed the thickness to (0,0,0,0) as you did. Hope this helps

Its all in the first few lines of the 923 definition.

<element layout=borderlayout() padding=rect(0,0,1,0)>
<Element id=atom(tabseparator) layout=filllayout()>
<Element layout=filllayout() borderthickness=rect(0,1,0,0) ID=Atom(ai196)>
<Element padding=rect(0,0,0,0) layout=filllayout() borderthickness=rect(0,1,0,0) ID=Atom(ai197)/>
</Element>
</Element>
</element>

Just change them to borderthickness=rect(0,0,0,0) and voila done

code:
<element layout=borderlayout() padding=rect(0,0,1,0)>
<Element id=atom(tabseparator) layout=filllayout()>
<Element layout=filllayout() borderthickness=rect(0,0,0,0) ID=Atom(ai196)>
<Element padding=rect(0,0,0,0) layout=filllayout() borderthickness=rect(0,0,0,0) ID=Atom(ai197)/>
</Element>
</Element>
</element>

I got lines between the tabs removed, but I want to get the line bordering the tabs removed too... (A)

and while I'm at it, how would I remove the border around the conversation (aka the big box)? I've got all the other borders removed, but that one.

For the first one, find the element ai215 in the 923 definition file.
