Is there any way to customize the colors on the tabs on Tabber? -- Webkinz ManiaTalkBlogsContributionsEditcount 22:02, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, there is a number of css classes that define the color theme of the tabber. The entire style sheet for the tabber is:
/*--------------------------------------------------
  REQUIRED to hide the non-active tab content.
  But do not hide them in the print stylesheet!
  --------------------------------------------------*/
.tabberlive .tabbertabhide {
 display:none;
}

/*--------------------------------------------------
  .tabber = before the tabber interface is set up
  .tabberlive = after the tabber interface is set up
  --------------------------------------------------*/
.tabber {
}
.tabberlive {
 margin-top:1em;
}

/*--------------------------------------------------
  ul.tabbernav = the tab navigation list
  li.tabberactive = the active tab
  --------------------------------------------------*/
ul.tabbernav
{
 margin:0;
 padding: 3px 0;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #778;
 font: bold 12px Verdana, sans-serif;
}

ul.tabbernav li
{
 list-style: none;
 margin: 0;
 display: inline;
}

ul.tabbernav li a
{
 padding: 3px 0.5em;
 margin-left: 3px;
 border: 1px solid #778;
 border-bottom: none;
 background: #DDE;
 text-decoration: none;
}

ul.tabbernav li a:link { color: #448; }
ul.tabbernav li a:visited { color: #667; }

ul.tabbernav li a:hover
{
 color: #000;
 background: #AAE;
 border-color: #227;
}

ul.tabbernav li.tabberactive a
{
 background-color: #fff;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
}

ul.tabbernav li.tabberactive a:hover
{
 color: #000;
 background: white;
 border-bottom: 1px solid white;
}

/*--------------------------------------------------
  .tabbertab = the tab content
  Add style only after the tabber interface is set up (.tabberlive)
  --------------------------------------------------*/
.tabberlive .tabbertab {
 padding:5px;
 border:1px solid #aaa;
 border-top:0;

 /* If you don't want the tab size changing whenever a tab is changed
    you can set a fixed height */

 /* height:200px; */

 /* If you set a fix height set overflow to auto and you will get a
    scrollbar when necessary */

 /* overflow:auto; */
}

/* If desired, hide the heading since a heading is provided by the tab */
.tabberlive .tabbertab h2 {
 display:none;
}
.tabberlive .tabbertab h3 {
 display:none;
}

/* Example of using an ID to set different styles for the tabs on the page */
.tabberlive#tab1 {
}
.tabberlive#tab2 {
}
.tabberlive#tab2 .tabbertab {
 height:200px;
 overflow:auto;
}
You can override these definitions by adding custom ones to your wikis MediaWiki:Wikia.css. As an example, see this page and the corresponding CSS overrides in MediaWiki:Wikia.css (tabber definitions section). Sovq 07:07, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
