Ian Pedowitz (ID: 00000057fdf6cca3) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/29/2019 I really liked this theme up until https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1755142 landed on Chrome. This change causes the contrast to be too little on inactive tabs between the text color and the tab color because the theme does not specify a background tab color. Before https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1755142 Chrome would change the text color to ensure the contrast ratio was accessible but now this is broken because. Per http://www.crbug.com/998915#c3: "We used to enforce higher contrast even if it meant violating the theme author's directives; now we go with what the theme author specifies. This theme was designed long ago (last updated 2011) and sets a dark background tab text color (visible in the webstore screenshot) but not a background tab color; it needs to either set the background tab color or use a different background tab text color. In other words, the theme author needs to update the theme to work better with Chrome's current UI, or someone else needs to fork the theme and do likewise." Do you think this can be fixed?
