Hard to differentiate active/inactive dark theme tabs

[trajano]

I only have a few tab based apps, namely the browsers, text editor and Windows Terminal. However, the way they render tabs specifically the colors differ and it's not really usable in Windows Terminal

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.804]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Version: 1.5.10411.0

Edge
Firefox

Steps to reproduce

Use Dark Mode in system settings
Set accent color

Open multiple tabs

Expected behavior

Color consistency between tabs on the app

Edge accent color is blue and the active tab is black so it's distinguishable.

Firefox looks similar I like the bar on top but I guess that's a custom firefox implementation HHowever it still takes the accent color correctly.

Actual behavior

The dark mode tabs are hard to distinguish in Terminal when active.

Light mode is at least distinguishable.

I think we have an issue for this sitting around somewhere, but I am worried that you have a display contrast issue. The contrast ratio for the dark theme in your screenshots is 1.66:1, and the contrast ratio for the light theme is 1.6:1. They're very much extremely the same distinction between selected/unselected.

You might be interested in #3327, which would let you specify that the titlebar have an accent color background (like Firefox in your screenshot above.)

/dup #1963 specifically!
