Are you sure? I think it is just a trick of the eye because of the
darker gradient on the window background. It looks like the same color
to my eye.

It is worth experimenting with. I would like us to come to a good
solution through these discussions if possible as it is easier to talk
about it and play around with image editors than to change the code as
an experiment. In that direction, here is a mock-up of the darker
inactive tab on the stack:

Maybe you are reading these emails too fast? :)
My point two of the email I sent before was explaining that I did that
to show that the windows were connected as a stack. And Alex indicated
he didn't like it too much. Another idea I just tried is extending the
one pixel line that links the yellow tab to the window across to the
inactive tab in the stack. I don't think it looks great, but
nonetheless:

Hmmm, you can't say you are running an experiment without giving details! :)
Unless it is totally unrelated to this discussion. But I can't help
but feel it might be related (like using Haiku as your only OS for a
week or something.)
