I think this is a decent UI idea because it provides visual feedback on the active web panel and its size, like Zen browser's web panel, I made this little concept:

web panel concept

it would be nice since custom userchrome themes can be compatible with this concept of an adaptive color around the web panels

Zen's web panel for reference:

this is a great example since I chose a very light color just for the concept

Hi! Actually, there is a border around the web panel, but its color relies on Firefox CSS-variables. If you want to use this in Zen, you need customization. I heard Zen has no problems with customization. :wink:

First of all thanks for this great project, I've absolutely loved it; you are a legend man! I know there's a border but I think it is a bit faint because with dark themes you cannot really see the outline of the web panel, at least not so clearly as Zen's one. I mainly use vanilla Firefox btw

Thank you! The problem is that I'm actually a backend developer, and CSS is pretty hard for me. :smile: Yes, there are some problems with the visual now, I will try to take time to fix it.
