A small theming change, merged with a candid note from the maintainer.
Resposta curta
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.

O objetivo
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.
