[Solved] Lighten active tab of multidock

[Heinz Hupfer]

Hi?

I don't make themes, but just 1 question:

Is it possible to lighten the active tab in the multidock?

Hard to see which o e is the active one and if to switch to the left or right to get to another one if many tabs are open..

I always oversee this small "x" in the active one

Thanks?

Bassman.

Altering the colors that affect the selected tab also affects the unselected tabs (but in the opposite polarity) so the basic answer to your question is "No, not really" although you have some minor ability to maximize the difference through careful color adjustment.

Hi:)

Thanks for your answer! Could you please tell me how I can change the colors of these Tabs? 

Looked into the Theme, but can't find these tabs or multidock or similar.

Do you know where to change this?

 

Thanks;)

It's not a straight forward process, but Colin made a theme guide here that should help. Download and study it.

In the Theme Editor...

Multidock tab upper = Global | Menus | MenuBar Gradient Start (also affects Track View Menu tabs) pg 11 of Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

Multidock tab lower = Global | View Border (also affects other window view borders) pg 7 of Young Lady's Illustrated Primer

Hi:)

OK, it works. I brightened the "Gradient Start and End" and it's much better for my eyes than before.

Thanks;)
