Gnome-terminal tabs: no contrast between active and inactive tabs

rated 0 times [ 22] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 7516 / 2 Years ago, sun, june 26, 2022, 8:29:46

In Ubuntu 13.04, I often have multiple tabs open in gnome-terminal. The problem is that, while I can set the title of each tab, it is very hard to tell which tab is active -- the color and rendering distinction between the active tab and the inactive tab is so subtle that one must study the tab bar very carefully.

Is there a way to make this contrast more obvious?

I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 with the Ambience theme - had the same problem.

Solution: edit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (you might have to create it) and add:

TerminalWindow,

TerminalWindow.background {

        background-color: #6e6e6e;

        color: #000000;

}



TerminalWindow .notebook tab {

        padding: 2;

        background-color: #6e6e6e;

}



TerminalWindow .notebook tab:active {

        background-color: #d1d1d1;

}
