Description of the Issue
When a tab in the inactive view has color, that color is not known to the user because the tab visually appears like a non-colored tab.
Steps To Reproduce
- In a fresh N++, create
new 1
,new 2
,new 3
,new 4
andnew 5
tabs - Color each tab (except
new 5
) with the same color number as its tab title, e.g. tabnew 1
gets "color 1", etc., via View (menu) > Tab > Apply Color ... - Move documents
new 3
andnew 4
to the "other" (secondary or sub) view - Experiment with making the tabs active, in turn.
Current Behavior
Note that when either new 3
or new 4
is the active document in the active secondary view:
-
the appearance of
new 5
(an uncolored tab) in the non-active view, when it is the active tab in that view:
-
the appearance of
new 2
(a colored tab) in the non-active view, when it is the active tab in that view:
These tabs appear visually the same, even though one is colored and one is not.
The bottom line: User has no way to know that new 2
is a tab that has had color applied to it in this situation.
Expected Behavior
Some way to know the color of the active tab in the non-active view.
