Description

On mRemoteNG 1.78.2 NB 3208:

  1. Create four SSH connections and open them. Active connection is in blue color and all other inactive are in white color.

  2. Move two of tabs to subpanel. Active connection is in blue color and another subpanel inactive but visible tab is in grey (both background and text is in grey).
    Image
  3. Now lets set Tab Color parameter in all of them and open them all (like step 1). Active tab is in Darkred all other are in white color.
    Image
  4. Move two of tabs to subanel. Now issue appears, from colors itself is not so simple to recognize which is active tab.

SUGGESTION: Can I suggest instead of light gray tab for inactive but visible tab to set grey frame around tabs.

Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in mRemoteNG 1.78.2 NB 3208 using the four SSH connections, subpanels, and custom Tab Color settings described in the issue. No source file or test entry point is named, so first locate the tab rendering and subpanel color handling, then verify that inactive visible tabs remain readable and the active tab is distinguishable when custom colors are set.
