Description

macOS Terminal.app dims the tab control bar when a Terminal.app window is backgrounded in favor of other Terminal.app windows, or even other applications.

Which Hyper CSS selectors match the tab control bar and main terminal area, when the application window is currently backgrounded, so that we can apply similar dimming effects?

Research direction

Inspect Hyper's UI styles for the tab control bar and main terminal area, then determine whether selectors expose the application's backgrounded-window state. Done means identifying the relevant selectors and documenting how they can be used for dimming.
