Active tab is difficult to distinguish in gnome-terminal

[vilbara]

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

It is very difficult to distinguish active tab in gnome-terminal on ubuntu 11.04 (classic desktop).

The differences in background and text color between active and inactive tabs are negligible.

tht's more like a theme issue? do you see the same with others?

Not sure if it is completely a theme issue: Tabs in gedit look differently and active tab is easily distinguishable there.

this should also affect light-themes. I can't set it, though.
