Showing More Skin: Personas Revisited
One of my first tasks as the new Visual Designer for Mozilla Labs is to research how to revise Firefox’s default chrome in OSX so that your Personas really shine through.
Currently in OSX, there are two main chrome issues affecting Personas. The first is that the buttons have an opaque background – the custom skins are covered by them – and should be made more transparent. The second issue is opaque tabs and how to properly allow the skin to show through them.

As Lead Visual Designer for Mozilla, Sean works hard at trying to make pretty pictures. Embedded in the Creative wing of the Engagement team, he churns out rasters and vectors for both Mozilla and the greater global Mozilla community.
I like the concepts, but why do you visually attach tab buttons to top bar, instead of content space?
It looks very strange that when I switch tab attached to location bar/menu bar/bookmark bar I’m actually switching content area tabs…
