Default blue windows color next to tabs for some reason, while using any default theme

title about says it, it looks incredibly ugly considering the UI is supposed to be dark. A light blue gradient doesn't really fit with the rest of the browser. I doubt any addon is doing this, none of them interact with the tab bar at all. Perhaps a chrome fix is possible?

I have that too, it seems to be an Aero theme thing on Windows 7.
What color would you prefer? You can use a Firefox theme to replace the default background of the toolbar area with another one. The Add-ons site has a lot of artistic themes, but also basic solid colors. A few minutes and you should be set up.

If you do not see a suitable color, you could use a custom style rule in a userChrome.css file to specify the color precisely.

That Blue line is to tell you that it is the active tab when you have a dozen open or so it is useful, yes maybe white line to match the black as does look a little odd, but when in default it looks fine.
It can be turned off I think but at this time I do not know how. It is digging into and changing code. I do not know file location or file or the code. Someone else may here, may have to wait. Back log.
Or maybe search GitHub.com for a hack.
Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

That's not what I asked, pkshadow. I already know how to remove the blue bar from the tops of the tabs. I'm asking about the massive blue space to the right of the tabs. Its the "default" windows 7 window color for some reason, as if its overriding Firefox's window color. Or maybe that's just what the dark theme looks like for some bizarre reason.

guess that'll have to do >.> I prefer firefox's dark theme to the ones available (tabs are the right color but everything else is too light of a grey). Pretty much if someone carbon copies Firefox's theme, that'd be ideal.
...or firefox can fix their theme so that it actually works right, that'd be nice too ;)
If you prefer a surgical approach, a custom style rule in userChrome.css is the other option:
#TabsToolbar { /* tab bar */
background-color: black !important;
}
Obviously, edit the color to your preference.
And if you have not already created a userChrome.css file, see: https://www.userchrome.org/how-create-userchrome-css.html
