Description Dmitry Suzdalev 2011-08-23 11:10:32 UTC 
Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Recently I started to actively use splitted views and I ran into issue that it is really hard to tell which view is currently active.

If I do some non-editing activity and then return to kate, I have to do a couple of F8's to switch between views so that I can actually find out what view is active by jumping cursor here and there.

Not really convenient :)

Please take a look at attached screenshot and try to QUICKLY guess what view is active? :)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Open Kate, split views

Actual Results:  
It is really hard to tell which view is active by just looking at window

Expected Results:  
There's some kind of color/brightness/whatever indication which makes it possible to clearly identify the active view

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0-ARCH
Compiler: gcc
Kate: 3.7.0

NOTE: using Kate in GNOME environment with qt's gtk theme

Also wanted to note that bug report form didn't contain my kate version (3.7.0) in version selection combobox - there were 3.0 and 4.0, but nothing like 3.7.0...
