Version: 1.6.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc3.2.3 OS: Linux I think that the active Konsole tab should be made to stand out better than it does. I often have lots of open tabs and find it a bit hard to quickly tell which tab is active before I start switching tabs with keyboard shortcuts. Suggestions for better highlighting: 1. use different color for selected/unselected tab font probably the least intrusive from a design view 2. make text of active tab bold this will make other tabs wider than they need to be when not selected or will make tab width vary from selected/unselected 3. any others?
Created attachment 16972 [details] Snapshot to illustrate problem. Note that it's not easy to, at a glance, tell which tab is selected.
This is the fault of the widget theme/colour scheme you're using, and not konsole. What theme are you using, so the bug can be reassigned?
I'm using my own color scheme and the MS Windows 9x style. If there's a place in ~/.kde I can try to extract my particular color settings.
Presumably not a bug then - if you find that some default colour scheme gives the problem, then maybe it's a bug, but of course you can choose your own colours so you can't distinguish things... :-)
Try some of the schema distributed with KDE... the current tab is obvious.
I had marked it as a wish not a bug
Sure, try the default color scheme "High Contrast White Text". Much worse visibility than mine.
The tab scheme is the same for Konsole, Konqueror and any other KDE program that uses tabs... you just have to pick a scheme you like. It could be possible to have the current tab in bold, but I don't care for that.
Thanks for the wild goose chase and the honest answer.
