Hi Folks. New to the forum. There is an add-on named "Aging Tabs" that gives you the option to choose a color for your active tab. Hope this helps.

MysterZee: In order to differentiate the active tab you'll have to open up ColorfulTabs Options and explore the tab highlighting options. Many people have 30 or more tabs open and are able to tell the difference between the active tab and the others by setting the tab highlighting.

I certainly hope you folks will address this issue! I've enjoyed colorful tabs very much UNTIL the version where I can't tell which tab is the active tab. I'll have 7 or more tabs at any given time due to work. Being unable to know which tab is active by simply looking at the tabs makes my work much harder. Thanks for your attention! I will look forward to the next version, hopefully soon. The suggestions above all sound great.

I'd suggest a striped background... a 1px white stripe distanced at 5px transparency. This would be a little distracting rather than being too distracting. But this will also in part retain the color of the tab as a unique identification.

I'd suggest white for the tab highlighting. I use black to highlight the domain I use the most, as it's visually most comfortable to have a row of tabs in black. Not that many people are likely to want a row of tabs in white, it's harsher on the eyes, so it's better suited to being reserved for tab highlighting.

Sounds good. I think we can also set the default gray color. We can refine this further.

Why not offer the choice of two 'non-colours' (Black or White) with contrasting text colours ((White or Black respectively) for the active tab? Currently the 'Tab Kit' extension offers Current Tab Highlighting in Black and it works VERY well in terms of visual contrast and instant location.

Will work on it to make it a preference. But then given that you have chosen to display the active tab in (let's say) RED. We'll have to make sure that no other tab uses it. This will get complicated.

Hi, I might theoretically be able to edit my userchrome.css to create this effect, but I would not even know where to find this file much less how to edit it. However, I am glad to know that this can be done by those who do know how. My capabilities are more in line with a checkbox or 2 in the preferences that I could just check to achieve this effect. In any case, I will continue to enjoy it as it is. Thank you!
