As we don't style the tabs, it's IMO not our problem but the Ubuntu's theme one. How does other apps look like? FWIW, the default GTK3 theme works just fine in that regard.
And as @elextr's pointed out, *if* we did anything, it would have to be compatible with *any* theme -- or specific to one, if that's even possible. It wouldn't be acceptable to e.g. set a background color ourselves, as it would conflict with all themes.
And BTW, I don't see much difference between the 2 captures. I don't think it's a worthy improvement if it's still that subtle to distinguish.
