Craig McClanahan commented on TOMAHAWK-894:
-------------------------------------------

It should go without saying that, if this kind of change is made to Tabbed Pane, the same philosophy would be consistently applied across the entire component library.

>             Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
>          Issue Type: Bug

> The TLD docs for the "t:panelTabbedPane" have these definitions for two of the style class overrides:
> activeTabStyleClass        Style class of the active tab cell
> inactiveTabStyleClass     Style class of the inactive tab cells
> This implies to the reader that I can say something like:
>     <t:panelTabbedPane ... activeTabStyleClass="menu-sel" inactiveTabStyleClass="menu" .../>
> and expect my custom style classes to take effect.  However, that is not what actually happens, because the component still emits the default Tomahawk style class first (myFaces_panelTabbedPane_activeHeaderCell or myFaces_panelTabbedPane_inactiveHeaderCell).  That means my styles get ignored *unless* I create a cascade in my stylesheet definitions, or I use the "!important" modifier on EVERY SINGLE ENTRY.  That is very poor usability -- it would be much better to *replace* the default style class when the user specifies one, so they don't have to go through all the pain of figuring out why their styles seem to be ignored.
