Yes, the world leading TWaddle Enterprises
 have once again decided to pause their nuclear research
to create something of utmost importance:

Plain Tabs

...they are... um, well, just plainer and lighter looking tabs. I always found the gray tabs too dominant.

Groundbreaking! Awe-inspiring! :)

No seriously, I like it and will use it -- the old tabs have such a 2002 look. ;) Is the separating border to the bottom of deselected tabs (or to the right of them, if vertical) not stylable?

Best,
Tyll

Thanx :-)

Yes and no. I just corrected a minor bug to ensure that they are stylable (thanx for pointint it out!) - BUT the horizontal sidebar divider is still not because it is actually a gradient and set very differently from the other lines. Replacing the gradient with a plain color gives an ugly result and my attempts to have the gradient fetch a customized color did not succeed.

However, you can of course style the concerned parts the usual way. Do a search for "linear-gradient" inside tiddler $:/themes/tiddlywiki/snowwhite/base . You'll need to change the r,g,b values inside the rgba(r,g,b,a) to something between 0 and 255, e.g rgba(255,0,0,.5) for r (i.e red)

Guys... can you believe it!?

@Ed... I HOPE you've been hacked or something.

I jokingly mention "nuclear research" in my original post here... and now this reply comes (translated):

"Dear Sir, We are very interested in your research. Please contact us in Pyongyang. Gimyongun best hope "

My reply is hereby: The Advanced Nuclear Research Laboratories are 100% devoted to supporting democracy, free speech and peoples rights.

As they say in my art world --- you are on a run ...

Its really LOVELY to see.

I'm sure its because you MASTERED the form and can now paint the works you want to (and feel freed from Mother?).

Why am I writing? Simply to note that it takes time & patience to get to where you are. And I appreciate it.

Best wishes
Josiah

Hi. I'm a n00b. How do I use this?

I copied both items to my tiddlywiki, as instructed. But now what? How do I implement the tabs?

I'm rather lost about using plugins.  All plugins seem easy to install but then I can't find help on actually using them.

Thanks in advance,

Sean

So you drag each link over onto your tiddlywiki, a new 'Import' tiddler should pop up.  Hit the import buton.
The import tiddler will ow say you have succesfully imported the following....with links to the imprted tiddlers.  Click on the 'plaintabs settings' one and vola... :)
