Did I not say you override it in `Menu->Tools->Configuration Files->geany.css`, don't change any existing files!!!!! It is GTK CSS and its overriding works just like real CSS.
AFAIKT the CSS stuff only changes thingies that are solid color. Like a while back you helped me edit my scrollbars (I can actually see them now!). If there's a ... how to say it? ... a 'decoration' then it's going to be an *.xpm file.
I think GTK supports svg, png, jpg as well (at least).
The solid blue line at the bottom of the active tab is a 'decoration' so I'm not thinking that CSS will be where I look for the answer.
CSS is definitely where images are specified.
See https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/css-overview.html#:~:text=CSS%20nodes,each%20node%.... As well as how to specify images, how to specify states, eg active tab, that has an example of changing a notebook tab colour. You would need an alternative image, so maybe changing the colour will be sufficient if you make your active tab bright orange so it stands out ;-)
But the .xpm files seem only to involve the window decorations not things like Geany tabs so I don't know where to look. Maybe CSS after all. If I knew where the 'master' CSS for all this stuff was then I could start poking around, but I understand it's mostly all built-in to xfce4's theme manager. I'll ask those guys.
As for what the setting is you need to override, sorry I'm not GTK CSS literate enough.
Me neither. But thanks anyway.
