Tidying an entry in my sidebar

I placed an additional link in a standard right sidebar to toggle
TiddlersBarPlugin and and off. It works very well following some
advice in this group but visually it's slightly mislaigned with the
other links in the standard list (its slightly to the left of them)
and the text is in blue. The sidebar options that produce it contain:

{{button{goto}}}
<<gotoTiddler>><<search>><<closeAll>><<permaview>><<newTiddler>><<newJournal
"DD MMM YYYY" "journal">><<unsavedChanges command "unsaved changes"
"unsaved changes">><<saveChanges>><html><a href="javascript:;"
onclick="
config.options.chkDisableTabsBar=!
config.options.chkDisableTabsBar;
refreshPageTemplate();
return false;">
toggle tiddler tabs
</a></html>
<<slider chkSliderOptionsPanel OptionsPanel "options »" "Change
TiddlyWiki advanced options">>

Is there a way to keep the functionality (which forces a redraw or
saomething like that to get round a slight conflict with the
BreadcrumbsPlugin) but make this link look the same as the standard
links around it perhaps?

Sorry to ask about something so cosmetically minor but it's a pity
this linklooks out of place in my sidebar and it'd be great to make it
look the same as the others.

Many thanks

For this sort of problem, a simple demo makes it much less painful to
analyze the issue, thus improving the chances of finding a solution.

Thanks. I'll try to find a way to get one of these online.
All the best

You could create a site on Tiddlyspot - see here:

I've placed an example at http://kilucas.tiddlyspot.com/index.html.

It's a standard TW with only two additions:

1) The TiddlersBarPlugin to obtain tiddler tabs
2) a custom SideBarOptions entry identified by Eric to toggle tiddler
tabs on and off and effect some kind of redraw I think to help resolve
a minor conflict with the BreadcrumbsPlugin.

But my second customisation is slightly untidy since the rightsidebar
option for it is displaced to the left and is the wrong colour.

Is it straightforward to fix the position and colour without
diminishing its functionality perhaps?

Many thanks for any insights you have.

In [[SideBarOptions]], replace the following:
href="javascript:;" onclick
... with this:
href="javascript:;" class="button" onclick
