By default Private Tab uses built-in browser.tabs.loadInBackground preference from about:config page.
Or you can change extensions.privateTab.loadInBackground to 1, see https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab/blob/master/defaults/preferences/prefs.js#files

Also you can middle-click on "Open Link in New Private Tab" item to invert background/foreground behavior.

You can found some styles for userChrome.css/Stylish here:
https://github.com/Infocatcher/Private_Tab#styles
(but currently I don't have style to change tab labels, only example for icon available)

It's very hard to implement customisable appearance in case of many tab-reletad extensions and themes (e.g. there is at least 4 built-in themes: for WIndows classic and Aero, for Linux and for Mac OS). Thats why only UserStyles available – some of them should be corrected for some themes.

Here is some styles for userChrome.css/Stylish:

To only remove underline:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
@-moz-document url("chrome://browser/content/browser.xul"),
    url("chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul") {
    /* Remove dashed underline from private tabs, https://addons.mozilla.org/addon/private-tab/ */
    .tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate] {
        text-decoration: none !important;
    }
    .tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate][pinned] .tab-icon-image,
    .tabbrowser-tab[privateTab-isPrivate][pinned] .tab-throbber {
        border-bottom: none !important;
    }
}

I may add ability like for built-in "New Tab" button: show button after last tab, if it's placed just after tabs:

You was wrong with <em:localized> blocks, but this isn't essential. :)

I also added

> Also, the bug mentioned in your about section is already fixed :)
Oh, fortunately not: nsILoadContext.usePrivateBrowsing is still writable, and bug marked as RESOLVED FIXED. So it's fixed, but fixed using good way for us. :)
Anyway, I moved information about this warning into "Developer's Comments" section.

What this custom script should do?

An example based on http://www.xuldev.org/firegestures/makescripts.php :

// Open "dragged" link in new private tab
var srcNode = FireGestures.sourceNode;
var linkURL = FireGestures.getLinkURL(srcNode);
if (!linkURL)
    throw "Not on a link";
FireGestures.checkURL(linkURL, srcNode.ownerDocument);
privateTab.readyToOpenTab(true);
gBrowser.selectedTab = gBrowser.addTab(linkURL, {
    charset: srcNode.ownerDocument.characterSet,
    relatedToCurrent: true
});


Also you can found some examples here:

Unfortunately complex styles is less compatible with other themes/extensions.

This makes sense, I'll think about it.

I don't like to override built-in drag and drop functions, it's difficult to implement and maintain and may be impossible to do it restart-less (troubles with undo ability).

Yes, this is a Firefox issue: Private Tab just uses built-in private browsing mechanism (and the same will happens with private windows without Private Tab).

If you want only separate cookies, try Multifox http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
