Description Petr Chytil 2007-02-28 10:45:23 UTC 
NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200702271900)
1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b04
Linux version 2.6.17-11-generic running on i386
en_US (nb); UTF-8

This one is similar to Issue 96059.

But difference in Linux is, that it is clear which tab in current window is
selected, but it is not clear which window is selected.

It would be nice to have this somehow fixed. It's really confusing, when e.g.
navigator window is selected and user have no information about active window
(see screen shot). Different color of active window's selected bar would be
helpful. 

Consider shortcuts - if you have many opened windows and you want to switch
between two of them, then you have no information about success of command
realized by the shortcut.

Will try for M9.

After some experiments, I finally tried to fix this by making active tab a
little brighter and only selected one made 1 pixel lower. Now it's far better
then before IMHO.

fixed in main trunk:
