Description Ragnar Thomsen 2012-12-06 18:26:47 UTC

Checking the option "Vary the background color for each tab" doesn't have any effect on the background color of tabs. I have tried using different color themes. All tabs have the same background color.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to: Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Appearance -> Edit
2. Check the checkbox: "Vary the background color for each tab" and press OK
3. Open a new tab
Actual Results:  
Newly started tabs have the same background color.

Expected Results:  
Each tab should have a different background color.

The 'random on light colors' scheme works as expected.   However, if you take another scheme and click on the 'random background color' it does not work.  I'm actually not sure it ever worked.

I can confirm this issue on dark background.

Comment 3 David Heidelberg 2014-03-05 01:30:22 UTC

Exactly, it doesn't work for BLACK. If it's at least #141414, it's fine. Maybe it could force this value, if is set black

Git commit 72368b71e29a40ee27aa9439432f0e764a4322ed by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Andrew Smith.

Allow small colour changes when varying dark backgrounds

Summary:
Black backgrounds don't get a (visible) random colour if "Vary the
background colour" has been checked. This is because the only
changes currently made aren't visible if the colour is black. Instead,
if we get a black background allow a small change in the colour
value so that the randomized colour is noticeable.
FIXED-IN: 18.12

Test Plan:
Create a new profile with a black background and the "Vary the
background colour" option checked. Opening new tabs with this
profile should produce tabs with slightly different background colours.
