Semantics - such a funny word.
se man tics - noun 1.a. the study of meaning.

When is a particular design choice simple and functional and when does it crossover into being self-absorbed minimalism? We’re talking about web page tabs.
We’ve noticed two schools of thought regarding the coloration of web page tabs:
- Tabs that show a change to indicate a live page
- Tabs that don’t show a change to indicate a live page
WMBDB (we may be dinosuars but), we like to know what page we are on. We don’t like to hunt around for basic info - is it in the address bar? in the title bar?
SO: Tabs which change to show a live page are simple and functional. Tabs which leave a viewer searching for the information are just minimal.
