What (in a theme) controls the colours in the second row of buttons in the left pane of the Inspector window? I am unable to find any stylesheet in the whole devtools directory that has any direct effect on the buttons that name the elements in a page.

You can use the DOM Inspector to see which style sheets and style rules are used for buttons and text color and text background.

Thanks. It was widgets.css where the problem colours were. DOM Inspector did not point that one out when I selected one of the buttons with the "breadcrumbs". Why? It listed toolbox.css, common.css, and markup.css instead.
