Description crosati 2014-04-07 12:10:09 UTC

Product Version = NetBeans IDE 8.0 (Build 201403101706)
Operating System = Mac OS X version 10.9.2 running on x86_64
Java; VM; Vendor = 1.8.0
Runtime = Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 25.0-b70

When the "Same background color for files from the same project" setting is set to true, editor tabs are colored.
This is a good visual cue but often I'm not able to understand quickly where is the currently selected tab.
I suggest to invert the coloring schema: unselected tabs should just have the tiny colored line under the tab name (what is now the selected tab), while the selected tab should be all colored.
