Want to create transparent tabs css. Name of elements?
In the userChrome.css you can change the transparency of the tabs, however the names for those elements in Thunderbird are not the same as Firefox. Can anyone give me a link to a list of the names of those elements? I am specifically looking to make the actual tab more transparent and the bar below the tab (with the tools on it) invisible. I'm using TB 52.1.1 on Linux.

View menu > toolbars and turn off the toolbar is you do not want to see it. Making it invisible sounds simply pointless. It also makes using Thunderbird about impossible unless you are developing a completely new theme and replacing the functionality elsewhere.

I have already done this in Firefox and it looks better than the over frosted default look. I actually use the toolbar all the time. The point is not to remove it but make the background almost completely transparent. The icons will still be their normal look. I need element names so I can adjust transparency levels. And I'm not interested in installing some other theme.
If I were to try an find out what those elements were called, I would use this tool

Lets take the middle man out of it.
