Saw this all platforms: Win32 2001-05-22-06trunk Linux 2001-05-22-08trunk Mac 2001-05-22-09trunk 1)Launch browser in New Modern or Classic 2)Look at text for following items in sidebar: "My Sidebar" text "Tabs" text to right of My Sidebar Actual results: New Modern - 'My Sidebar' text looks "inactive" (gray), and "Tabs" looks active as you'd expect it to look. Classic - Both the 'Tabs' and 'My Sidebar' text look gray and inactive, when in fact the sidebar and Tabs option are both accessible. Though the My Sidebar text may be following the scheme of color used by the text in the title bar on the browser, "Tabs" should not look gray because users will think it's not acceissible and may miss using this feature because of the "inactive text" look it has. Nominating nsbeta1 for high visibility and confusing UI.

For modern3, i would suggest making the text not black but perhaps white

ok, i changes it to use black, white did not look correct. Same thing for classic. However, mac classic seems to not have any color attribute for .sidebarheader-main. Should i define them in sidebar.css? cc: hewitt/andreww, who take care of the skins
Paul - can your team take this and triage it.

that area, as well as much of the sidebar, is still not fully resolved for Modern. "My Sidebar" text isn't necessarily supposed to be "active" per se, since it's just a static title. the "tabs" button however should look active, and we will definitely address this soon, but probably not until after 0.9.1. Paul?
Marking 0.9.2 and sending to Marlon. Marlon will be working out many issues with the sidebar that will land in 0.9.2. We decided not to spend time trying to land partial fixes to the sidebar for 0.9.1 only to redo some of that for 0.9.2.

Missed 0.9.3.

This is not a problem on Mac classic, nor Modern, which is why i was confused initially. Is it only a problem on Win Classic (linux?) ? I would rather someone who is responsible for Win Classic take this bug over. But there isn't anything wrong with the color we have now.

Mac OS 9.2 works fine except windows 98 and Linux redhat 6.2 (branch build: 2001-10-10-03-0.9.4)

I think this can be resolved by changing the text color to black and the base color to #999999.
i'm sorry, but that contrast is *bad*. We could change the arrow and x to use the same color as the sidebar/tabs text, that'd be an improvement. or we could redesign the sidebar to have less useless space, i'll see if i can make a mockup for that
In Classic theme mousing over the Tabs button makes the text "Tabs" disappear. This seems to be because the mouseover color is the same color (or very nearly) as the Tabs text. Comments here suggest making Sidebar and Tabs text black. Would that also solve this mouseover issue?
