Fix cosmetic issues on Windows and Linux

[simon]

There are a some minor cosmetic issues with Zotero on Windows and Linux. Most conspicuously, the tabs look a little off in Windows (the background around the tabs is different from the background elsewhere, and it's missing a bar at the top). The background behind the toolbar is different on Linux.

One thing I had to tweak though is the colours of the UI, notably the

background colour specifications. A lot of people are using different
colour settings for their desktops so hard-coding colours is in general
not a good idea. For example I run Kubuntu and have my own KDE colour
theme with white text on greenish background throughout all my
applications. Thus having white or close-to-white background makes
white text unreadable and looks annoyingly bright.

The fix is simple:

1. delete from from /skin/default/zotero/about.css the following line

background: white;

2. delete all the lines containing "background" string from

/skin/default/zotero/overlay.css

It all works find after that - it picks up the OS colours.

I seem to recall after trying this that this makes Zotero appear considerably less attractive on OS X. Need to find a solution that works well on all platforms.

Issues with tabs in metadata pane on Linux/Windows, possibly related to the background settings mentioned above. Looks fine on OS X.

Also: "The close button in the search field needs top and right padding" (on Linux, I assume)

(In [1174]) Addresses #141, Fix cosmetic issues on Windows and Linux

• Use default background for Zotero pane and get along with custom styles a bit more
• Reduce padding in tag selector
• Reduce margins around trees, reducing space between panes a bit
• Hide splitter below collections pane when tag selector is hidden
