That was it. I added padding-right: 5px; to the tabs and the blue bar is now visible.

I'm not sure how to change that bar's color since I'd like to do something that stands out mroe against the dark gray but at least it's there so I know what I've selected.

Your CSS might be at play.

I'm using 4.8 and I have some tabs colored. They show the blue line just like the non-colored tabs.

However, I have some padding/margin around these colors, so it looks more like a high-lighter effect. (the base color of the tab is still visible around the custom color) Perhaps your margin or padding needs to be examined, particularly on the right. It might only take a few px to expose the blue line.

After having gotten the main registers to all use dark themes I tried using colored tabs for the first time.  That indeed has been helpful to make it easy to spot particular accounts from a big list of tabs (all bank accounts are one color, credit cards another, etc.)

But one thing I noticed is that for tabs that do not use color, the currently selected account tab has a vertical blue bar to its right (assuming the tabs are aligned on the left side of the screen) and the shade of the tab changes slightly (i.e. dark gray tabs in the dark theme turn a slightly lighter shade of gray).

However, when using color for the tabs, the blue bar does not appear when you select a colored tab.  The color completely overrides everything so you can't tell at a glance which of the tabs you've selected.

I'll have to go back and drop color from the accounts for now because it'll be too easy to not notice which account I'm using and start entering things. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there potentially a workaround to bring the selector color back while still using colored account tabs?
