Description

VS Code: 1.139.0-insider (f44f55cde0c1ff6c834bad0bb46397bc48711da8)
Theme: Dark Modern
Layout: Compact

What about increasing the radius, adding an outline to the tab (same color as other separators), plus some space to breath at the top?
This can work nicely if the "connected" style is used for the active tab, and the "pill" style is used for the inactive ones.

I have to say tho that the first thing I noticed is the new lighter background color. It does feel a bit off imo.
Note that the new background for tabs also impacts the Classic UI!

Colors should probably be inverted so that the tabs container matches the workbench background.
