Description
Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
- VS Code Version: 1.134.0 (user setup)
- OS Version: Win11
The active editor tab is not visually dominant enough.
In the attached screenshot, the active file is plot_process_pygame.py, but occ_hash.py attracts more attention at first glance. (I opened "occ_hash.py")
I can determine the active file from the breadcrumb path, but the tab bar itself creates visual ambiguity.
The active tab should be immediately identifiable without relying on breadcrumbs or additional UI elements.
