News for Tab Themers
A long, long time ago—somewhere in the era of Camino 0.9a—Jasper wrote some documentation on how Camino’s tabs (the then-new tabs, in contrast to the Mac OS X tabs Camino versions through 0.8.5 used) were constructed visually. This documentation was to be part of the Camino 0.9 website rewrite, to aid themers in creating custom appearances for tabs in the new version of Camino.
As Camino 0.9 morphed into Camino 1.0 and the website morphed from TextPattern back to standard HTML+PHP, the tab theme documentation got lost. It was uploaded to the new website when we released Camino 1.0, but nothing ever linked to it. As Sam and I were finishing up migrating content from the 1.0 website to the 1.5 website, I stumbled upon the tab theme documentation again. We moved it to the Camino Wiki, but out-of-date docs aren’t very useful. 
I’m happy to announce, however, that the tab theme documentation is now up-to-date for Camino 1.5 and available for your viewing and theming pleasure at http://wiki.caminobrowser.org/Development:Third-Party_Tab_Themes. I hope all our theme developers find the documentation useful, and we’ll make sure to keep it up-to-date with future releases of Camino.
