[GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection

[David Carlson]

That is interesting, and not the way it used to be in release 3.8.  There
the colored tabs (mine are across the top) all get the blue highlight when
selected and the text of the selected tab is bold while the rest are not.
Did you do any customizing of the color scheme in your machine beyond what
you can do in the preferences?
