kde style as it is in 5.x

upgrading to kde 5 i smiled as the tabs in 'kate' do have an underline for the active tab but 'konsole' didn't follow this standard.

i've hacked together a css:
/* https://gist.github.com/codemedic/f11cc460b8d9544f9afc */

QTabBar::tab:selected
{
    font-weight: bold;
    background-color: palette(window);
    border: 0px;
    border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
    border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
    background: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1, stop: 0 palette(window), stop: 0.85 palette(window), stop: 1 palette(highlight));
}

it is not perfect but a good start to illustrate the problem and a solution.

request: could konsole use the same style as kate for its active tabs? would make it so much easier to see 'which' tab is active on dimmed displays or displays where sun is shining on.

thanks!

Yes there is some agreement that the current tab is no visible enough.  I think there are other reports w/ other suggestions.

Closing since this was resolved some time ago
