Real Tabs Userchrome for Firefox, Combined with other Projects (TabMixPlus / CustomCSSforFx)

Hello again. This time, I'm opening an issue, again, because of some incompatibility (I think !? :confused:) of Real Tabs with some other projects I use, combined. As the title suggest, I am using, -depending on the circumstance-, two other projects. This is Onemen's TabMixPlus and Aris-t2 CustomCSSforFx. I like to use a feature that these two project offer (TabMixPlus via uc.js code and CustomCSSforFx via css code) and this is no other than "Tabs below Bookmarks" toolbar, like it was in Firefox 3.x or in Firefox 4.x (with the option "Tabs not on Top").

When using "default" position tabs with either projects, not an issue:

But after I use the "Tabs below Bookmarks" toolbar feature that these two project offer and after a lot of testing, I found the following issues:

• When using Aris-t2 "CustomCSSforFx" specific css code:
  • [ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$ "Firefox Color" addon/ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$ "System theme — auto" in Themes ] - The tabs WILL NOT inherit the color of "default's" position:

• [ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Disabled}}$ "Firefox Color" addon/ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$ "Dark" in Themes ] - When opening the NavBar, it overlaps the tabs and you cannot select all links in it or tabs:

• When using Onemen's "TabMixPlus" specific uc.js code (TabMixPlus must be installed for this code to work) :
  • [ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$ "Firefox Color" addon/ $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$ "System theme — auto" in Themes ] - The tabs ARE inherit the color of "default's" position:

But the NavBar, when opening it, again, overlaps the tabs and you cannot select all links in it or tabs:

When I'm NOT using Real Tabs userChrome.css and userContent.css, and having all other options mentioned above $\textcolor{red}{\textsf{Enabled}}$, the NavBar works as it should:

Bellow are the "Code Files" from both projects used: Code Files.zip

Edit: Tested on FF 122, 123 and 124.

Hm, what I could do is organize the CSS into categories (toolbar, tabs, navbar, etc), which would make it easier to comment out the tab CSS yourself. But since TabMixPlus is doing something completely different with the tabs, I don't think it would make sense to try to make them compatible out of the box.

If I understand correctly, you mean only for TabMixPlus’s approach which uses different method than css, that could only be a possible fix for CustomCSSforFx’s approach ?

P.S. Just to clarify,- if this was not very clear,- that I’m not using both projects’ solution simultaneously. Depending the circumstances, I use one or the other’s solution (I’m sure if both used simultaneously definitely there would be a conflict).
