Make tabs respect the color theme

Post by NicTheQuick »

Hi,
since I changed to a dark theme in Ubuntu and played around with the color schemes in the IDEs settings I found out that the tabs always have the same gray color scheme.
It does not look like you can change these colors in any way except recompiling the IDE.

So please make it possible to change the colors of the tab bar.
The english grammar is freeware, you can use it freely - But it's not Open Source, i.e. you can not change it or publish it in altered way.

Have you seen this topic?
I asked here, too.

If you don't want to wait, you can download sources or ready-made executables.

Yes, I saw that. But I don't wanted to use a compiled version of the IDE from a third party. And while I can compile it myself too, I don't think that the general solution to this problem.

Cool! Maybe this dedicated topic makes it a bit more obvious now.

You have to choose whether it will be a toggle between black and white theme, or enter more than 16 colors in the settings for 3 types of tabs (normal, project, form design). Which have 3 states inactive, active, mouse cursor over tab. Which have more than 4 elements (background, text color, border color, close button color, cross color).

At this point, the method used for the active tab is to lighten or add color. What if someone wanted to use the blackout method for a black theme?
