How to specify a different color for active tab in colored document?












0















I've asked this question on Software Recommendations, but apparently that's the wrong site. So now I'm trying here:



I know Productivity Power tools can be used without the colored document well. But I like the idea of coloring tabs in the document well and I think the only problem is finding whatever tab is currently active.



In order to solve this problem I'd like to give the active document/tab a different color. This should be possible considering coloring can be done with regex.



I don't have this problem without color coded tabs because then it's obvious which tab is currently selected. This problem mostly happens when using the dark themed Visual Studio. In this scenario the only difference between an active and not-active tab is the file name has been bolded.
