When using multiple tabs, it is very hard to distinguish the active one.

At least with the default theme, all looks the same and the light shadow on the inactive one is almost unnoticeable.

I am attaching a screen. Can you tell which of the two tabs is currently active? I can't.

PROPOSED QUICK SOLUTION:
Please put the title of the active tab in bold font.

POSSIBLE FUTURE IMPROVEMENT:
Being able to customize the font and/or background for the active tab in "settings" menu could be a nice feature.

Just my 2c, thank you for creating and sharing this very nice software.

P.S. This also applies to 0.6.3

It's looking more distinct in my gtk3 theme. Can you try the git version ported to gtk3?

For gtk3, custom styles can be applied via gtk.css.
