Bug Description
I am currently testing 13.04, but I was quite disappointed this bug from 12.10 was not fixed yet: I use the terminal (standard 'terminal' which should be gnome-terminal) with black background and white foreground color (apart from that: default Ambiance theme). It looks very nice as long as you don't open multiple tabs. As soon as you open multiple tabs you will be hit by a lightning... Suddenly the whole terminal gets an ugly white frame and the tabs themselves (instead of being white on black, too), are big white bars, too. How come this has not been detected by anyone half interested in good design (about 70% of the programmers I know work with white on black, not black on white. So I assume a lot of people must have seen this).
The question is how to fix it. In 12.10, I partially fixed it as follows (but that does not remove the ugly white bars called tabs):
1) /usr/share/
2) set padding and border-width of ".notebook" to 0px.
Not very elegant... as I said. But I'm sure the experts in the field would easily know how to fix it. At least I hope very much. The massive white frame and tabs distract the eye for the 'white on black' setup.
Note: this was asked as a 'question' (#225231) where it has been suggested to file a bug report.
