enter image description here The currently displayed window forms a single and continuous visual/color space with *inactive* tabs. Like in the example above, the user sees the content/folders of the sys directory, whereas the UI suggests that the user looks at Documents tab, which is misleading I am trying to get used to it but often find myself pausing for a moment trying to figure out which tab is actually active. Other applications, such as Terminal, don't have this problem, as an active tab has a a bright underline (see image below) making it obvious which tab is active. In Chromium web browser, the current window forms a continuous visual space (using color and thin borders) with the *active* tab. Is there any way to change the look of Gnome Files to provide a stronger visual clue for active tabs? enter image description here
