Qué?
In Dark Borders (2px), the high-visibilty dark border is still 1px, with a white 1px padding. (between border and scroller in the image.)
Maybe eil wants a 2px all dark border.

Okay. now some thoughts on the new infopane divider:
1. if it would not be much bother, could you add a border at the right edge when this divider line is active? Matches the left edge of IP tabs.

2. Two dark lines so close together do not look too good at all, in my opinion. Here's I think a cool idea: how would it look if you moved the whole status bar below the info pane?
(As an added advantage, toggling the IP with clicking the status bar will get much easier.)

probably it's my bad. for some reason i thought: if No Border = no line between List and IP, and 1px Dark Border = 1px line, then 2px Dark border must be wider divider-line. nvm i guess.

1. I added more lines to the new tweak style. Let's see how you like that.
2. Hmm, no, SB should be close to the list.

So, is everybody happy now with the new style?
(It was a lot of work, and I think it might be even suited to become the new factory default for its better noob-compatibility.)

welll... it's alright, until you get to the Find File and and Reports pane. (The vertical line the the right of the tabs looks out of place.)
In my opinion, the best look will be the new line combined with the fading line style of TabIPVisualStyle=2

Well, I think it's just consequential as it is. I would not mix the two styles.

I'm adding to this thread years later because I found it in my quest to find an answer to an
accessibility problem:
When applying the tweak
Code: Select all
+ Tweak TabIPVisualStyle got a new style/value 3:
TabIPVisualStyle=3
that only makes the border
darker; it does not make it
thicker.
For someone who has issues with hand dexterity, a
larger target, ie,
thicker border, would make things much easier.
I'd like to see a tweak where that border can be made thicker so it becomes an easier target.
As someone with Parkinson's, that's a biggie for me...

You can already do that, when you hover the splitter and get the vertical arrows right click and you can enlarge the splitter. BTW you might find the Shift+F12 shortcut easier, to minimize/maximize the IP height without using the mouse.

Ahhh...stealth configuration!
That makes the physical target larger but does not have the affordance of a visual cue (which is preferred in terms of software design for accessibility). But it beats a blank.
THANKS!
