active tab color

[Harold]

In Mepis 11 if found a color scheme where the active tab is lighter than the inactive ones. The name of it is Norway. I may try to tweak it to see if I can make the inactive ones darker like Dustin says about Windows XP.

    If you're using Windows XP, the MS-Windows theme appears to use the
highlight color on the inactive tabs and not the active tab (wich makes the
active tab a different color).  I am only guessing it is the highlight
color.  I know that my inactive tabs all turned black (and the text was
black, no good for me).  I thought the active tab was a different color with
the default theme on 2.4.9, but maybe not on 2.4.7, which runs an older
version of gtk (or something), but I could be wrong on that.  I think the
default theme is called Nimbus on 2.4.9, don't know what it was on 2.4.7.

Thanks all for the good info. I am working on getting a color scheme that
makes the active tab change colors.

FWIW, the active tab on both my Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity
desktop) installations changes color. Can't say what the color is because
I'm color blind. But this does appear to be a desktop issue, not a GnuCash
one.
