Unselected tab coloring
Hi there,
I need a help about setting unselected tabs color. I have many options but:
"light" is really too light (I use dark colors for entries and the difference is really "strong").
"transparent" option seems useless (the same of "none").
Any hint?

Edit: I've tested more deeply and I want to correct my previous post. "Transparent" adds no color correction, "None" sets color with "no color".
The problem is (in my opinion) that coloring in a lighter way an unselected item is not natural: I would really prefer to have a darker tone for unselected items or, even better, a sort of transparent layer to make it less evident (which would not modify the color code, only his impact). It's the same of enable/disabled standard items in GUI. Another great option would be something on tab label border or similar (for don't touch the background color).
Moreover, "light" effect it's really too light for every color (making the screen a punch of light for eyes). "Light-light" is incredibly uncomfortable (and it's the default).
Hope to add something useful.
Thanks
Hello,
Could you post some screen shot with more details?

I need to use very dark colors so the "light" unselected version is not too light:
If I use lighter base colors, unselected ones are really too light:
In any case, active/passive status is not so well perceptible (imho), maybe something less evident for unselected items could be better. For example (just a bunch of ideas):
Hello,
Thank you. I will try to improve this with the next major version. It's not as simple as it look because the third party we use apply an effect and it's not easy to know the final output.
