Make Current Tab More Distinguishable
-
@ornorm for now the only workaround is to use a more complementary (ie lighter) accent color.
@ayespy (modified) dark themes often have visibility problems with tabs, if the user does not want the address bar or window background to stick out too much (see standard dark theme modes).
Only solution would be a decoupled coloring option for address bar and active tab (leading to other but maybe less limiting optical drawbacks).

Already reported as bug: VB-39007

@ayespy This is indeed related to a dark theme on the example I've submitted but it might happen for other colors as well because I'm using a theme which adapts its main color according to the site which is visited.

@stilgarwolf Thank you. I'll watch that bug then. Have a nice day.

I can admit that sometimes it's really hard to distinguish where is the current tab...
There should be some mechanism to prevent visual "blending" of current tab when it has same (or nearly the same) color as surrounding ones...@Ayespy
I use standard "Light" theme - not any dark one.@Ornorm
This is fine request but I'd reword it to "make current tab more distinguishable" or something similar. -
@rotfl Done
-
yes!
and also PLAYING TAB more distinguishable, youtube or other tab that is playing audio. animated audio icon is too small, i can't spot it immediatelly -
@bitzbuddhaz I quite agree with your comment and comparison with Opera which is indeed more visible. The contrast and the animation of the loudspeaker in Vivaldi isn't really visible.
-
A solution is playing with plus icon. More this allow to add easily a new tab where you want. Look specialy this suggestion.

I have set the tabs to appear on the right. Ideally, all tabs except the current tab should have a white/ dark theme, and the current tab should have the colour of the active tab. As you can see in the attachment, all the tabs, except active tab, have the colour of the active tab and the active tab itself is white. This is just the opposite of how it should be because it is difficult to locate the current tab instantly.
