Hi there, and thanks for offering to get involved...

All the code is in svn - instructions on how to install and run it 
locally for development purposes can be found here:

   http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rails_port

The specific thing you looked at was (annoyingly) being styled directly 
from javascript so I've just changed that - my commit is here:

   http://trac.openstreetmap.org/changeset/20414

So the styling of the disabled tabs can now be done directly in the CSS 
file that you can see here:

 
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/sites/rails_port/public/stylesheets/common.css

You just need to play with the rules for "#tabnav a.disabled" to change 
the style of the disabled tabs.

If people like your suggested styling then I can commit that, or I can 
sort you out with svn acccess so you can do it.

Tom
