A small theming change, merged with a candid note from the maintainer.
Réponse courte
Passman's tab containers used hardcoded border colors and an inline theme override. This change switches them to Nextcloud's CSS variables, --color-border and --color-primary-element, and removes the inline override from the settings and edit-credential views. It was merged as PR #874, which referenced issue #409.
The problem
Passman is a password manager app for Nextcloud. Issue #409, from 2017, reported that with a white Nextcloud theme the settings tab titles and boxes were hard to see.
The change
.tab_container {
- border: 1px solid #eee;
- border-top-color: #0082c9;
+ border: 1px solid var(--color-border);
+ border-top-color: var(--color-primary-element);- <div class="tab_container edit_credential" use-theme type="'border-top-color'">
+ <div class="tab_container edit_credential">The same change was mirrored in the compiled css/app.css and js/templates.js.

FAQ
So did it fix issue #409?
According to the maintainer, no. The merged value is consistent theming with Nextcloud's own color variables.

Le but
Not every merged PR does what it set out to do. This one still left the app more consistent with its host platform, and the maintainer said exactly that.
