by piecevcake, 7 years agoCome on Shivanand Sharma, we have been waiting a long time for you to get your wonderful extension working! EDIT - I see you have been updating... some progress has been made but I am disabling it again - it is pretty but it does not do what I need, and can't use it with Tree tabs.
Pros:
1. it colours tabs by domain, and lists them vertically in sidebar (I think, or tree tabs does). But tree tabs does that and far more by using trees, groups etc. (Interestingly it doesnt colour top tabs - I don't use them anyway - I would like them gone!)
Cons:
1. no option to colour only selected tabs like the legacy version did, leaving the rest as default (main use=colour code to mark tabs - often from the SAME domain if shopping - good/bad/hot/warm/cold/todo/tosave etc).
2. Has it's own sidebar so tree tabs sidebar tabs are not coloured, and trees, folders and groups are gone = doesnt work with tree tabs, like the legacy version did.
3. privacy concerns unanswered by dev.
4. no response at all from dev.
Can you forget the RANDOM colouring of all tabs (which is of no interest to most users who just want to highlight particular tabs) and please, pretty please, just fix your extension to permanently colour selected individual tabs (whether active or inactive)?
If RENAMING selected tabs is possible, surely COLOURING them is also possible? (See Tab ReTitle as an example)
We love you - please come back!
Can I suggest you help us to lobby for bug fixes/APIs you need, like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus-webextension/?src=search

- Rated 1 out of 5by Greenberg, 3 months agoIt used to work now I cant get it to work. It used to work was a great addon when you have many open windows in multi-row especially although for that you have to use Floorp Firefox based browser.

- Rated 2 out of 5by phunk, a year agoCan developer PLEASE EXPLAIN why this add-on required "Access your data for all websites" permission? That sounds like an EXTREME SECURITY RISK, for an unknown use or benefit.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ant, a year agoExtension not looks like on screenshot - it change background of whole browser and does not change color of inactive tabs

- Rated 1 out of 5by Dark Steve, 2 years agoTerrible addon. It changed the colour of the main toolbar/URL bar area too, making everything painfully white and impossible to read. I had to restart the broweser after uninstalling ColorfulTabs to restore the theme. It also broke TreeStyle Tabs, making it impossible to change tabs or even close them. Garbage addon.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gemini62167, 2 years agoHow can such a lovely idea turn into a fiasco crap show such as this?
As soon as I gave permission for the add-on to work it completely overrode my dark theme utterly and entirely.
Sure, everything than looked as if I had been slipped some acid and then tossed into a bag of skittles...all pretty pretty like. But, then going from all blacks, grays, and whites to an acid trip from hell was worse! I couldn't differentiate one thing from another as everything had been turned into Skittles!
Everywhere I looked, there were Skittles...
There were Skittles there,
And Skittles there...
Here a Skittle!
There a Skittle,
Everywhere a Skittle Skittle!!!!
After putting my eyes back into my head, I had no other choice but to dump the bag just to get my calm, relaxing, and boring Dark Mode back.
So a warning to you all, if you're easily triggered by sudden flashing colors, random flashing lights, or just the random sight of a handful of Skittles coming at you... move on. Save yourself. - Rated 1 out of 5by deilson.elgui, 2 years ago

- Rated 1 out of 5by cetteame, 2 years agoNe prends pas en compte un thème sombre. Efface sans retour possible les réglages de thème sombre qui étaient définis. Ne prévient pas bien de ces modifications.
