Description

You recently made a change to your light-mode themes so that the inactive tabs are the same color as the editor while the active tab is a darker color. I find this very confusing. It seems very natural to me to think that the darker tab is darker because it is inactive, and that the tab that is the same color as the editor is the one that I am editing. I frequently get confused as to which tab I am currently editing (especially when there are only two tabs). The confusion only lasts a couple of seconds, but seems unnecessary and therefore frustrating to me.
