Yes.  My active tab is dark blue with white text.  If I hover my cursor
over my active tab, however, the tab turns pale blue with black text.
The text is slightly larger than the rest of my user interface text.
Here is my CSS:

/* Font size on tabs */
.tabbrowser-tab
{ font-size: 105% !important }

/* Highlight active tab */
.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] > hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] > .tab-close-button
{   background-color: #7799FF !important;
color: #ff !important }

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"]:hover > hbox,
.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"]:hover > .tab-close-button
{   background-color: #CCDDFF !important;
color: #00 !important }

It looks like you're using a theme other than the default, and the
highlighting might be part of that theme. Make sure your wife's
profile is using the same theme, selected at Tools > Add-ons
Manager > Appearance.

Otherwise, as others have mentioned, it may be that you've customised
the userChrome.css file in your profile to get this effect.


Mark, did you mean that DB should compare Theme settings at
View->Apply Theme??


No, but that does look like another way of doing it.

This is MADDENING ! - for someone who doesn't know SM intimately..

Windows 7 Pro has SeaMonkey, Mozilla, and CHROME in many MULTIPLE
directories on the C:/ drive !  Which ones do what !?

Some - I cannot get to (they don't even show up) in Windows Explorer
(WinKey + E).

I have put MY userChrome.css.css into a couple of the Chrome directories
in my wife's machine W/O ANY EFFECT on her computer.
Which CHROME subdirectory is THE one affecting SM's Tabs 

Doing the %appdata% thing does not tell me WHERE I went on the Directory
Tree in Wins 7.
"Users"  "PC"  - this is difficult to keep track of AND it looks like it
is different on our two computers !  Can SM load up DIFFERENTLY on
different Windows 7 Pro machines ?

EEEGAD !

You should not have two .css extensions in the filename; the proper name 
is userChrome.css.

If you use the same theme all the time, you could add code to a 
userChrome.css file in a chrome subdirectory in the profile for 
SeaMonkey to change the background of the selected tab. The code:


/* Do not remove the @namespace line -- it's required for correct 
functioning */
@namespace 
url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul;);


.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  background-color: #BFC8D2 !important;
}

That path is the default path.  However, some users (including me) set
their profiles elsewhere.  That is why, users should instead select
[Help > Troubleshooting Information] from the menu bar and then select
the Open Folder button to the right of "Profile Folder".  That will
reveal the actual location wherever it is.

Jonathan's reply is good.  You can also go further.



What you see there is done by this code in userChrome.css:

/* Change color of active tab */
tab[selected="true"] {
background: #383 url(tab05.jpg);
color: white !important;
}

/* Make the active tab bold */
tab[selected="true"] {
font-weight: bold !important;
}

/* Change color of normal/unselected tabs */
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
background: #383 url(tab03.jpg);
color: blue !important;
}





I should have mentioned (the obvious) that you'll have to create the jpg 
files referred to in the above.  ;-) It's those files that make the 
active tab a blue pattern and inactive the yellow pattern.

The easiest way to get to the profile folder is:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information
- About half way down the "Application Basics" section, next to "Profile 
Folder" click "Show Folder"; that should open the folder for the current 
profile

- Within that folder there should be a "chrome" folder (if not, create it)
- Within the "chrome" folder, you can create a userChrome.css file as 
described (or edit the existing one if it already exists)


Make sure the file is named userChrome.css - not userChrome.css.css! On 
Windows Explorer, it is helpful to go to Organise > Folder and Search 
Options (menu names may be different in Windows 7!) and on the View tab 
untick "Hide extensions for known file types". That way you can see and 
change the extension. You might also want to set "Show hidden files and 
folders" so that you can see the hidden folders such as AppData.

desktop.
We both are using Windows 7 Pro.
I do not know why, but on my computer, when there are multiple Tabs, the
Tab in use at the moment is light colored.  In Pref's, appearance,
colors, active is set to Red.

On my wife's computer, all the (Multiple) tabs in use are ALL the same
color, which makes it difficult to tell which tab you are in at any
moment.  Underline links is checked.

I have looked in preferences to see why my Tabs act that way in order to
fix my wife's system.

Is this current tab thing a SM thing or a Windows 7 thing ?

Can someone tell me what to toggle in SM (or Windows 7) to make the
current Tab (when there are multiple tabs) different (light, colored,
something to identify it) ?

DoctorBill



This is MADDENING ! - for someone who doesn't know SM intimately..

Windows 7 Pro has SeaMonkey, Mozilla, and CHROME in many MULTIPLE 
directories on the C:/ drive !  Which ones do what !?


Some - I cannot get to (they don't even show up) in Windows Explorer 
(WinKey + E).


I have put MY userChrome.css.css into a couple of the Chrome directories 
in my wife's machine W/O ANY EFFECT on her computer.

Which CHROME subdirectory is THE one affecting SM's Tabs 

Doing the %appdata% thing does not tell me WHERE I went on the Directory 
Tree in Wins 7.
"Users"  "PC"  - this is difficult to keep track of AND it looks like it 
is different on our two computers !  Can SM load up DIFFERENTLY on 
different Windows 7 Pro machines ?


EEEGAD !

Jonathan's reply is good.  You can also go further.



What you see there is done by this code in userChrome.css:

/* Change color of active tab */
tab[selected="true"] {
   background: #383 url(tab05.jpg);
   color: white !important;
}

/* Make the active tab bold */
tab[selected="true"] {
   font-weight: bold !important;
}

/* Change color of normal/unselected tabs */
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
   background: #383 url(tab03.jpg);
   color: blue !important;
}

This is what I am talking about - if I can show images herethat is.

I see this News Group won't show images like forums do.
Anyway - just click on the link.   You can see how the current Tab being
used is lighter.
How do I make my wife's system do that ?  Not obvious - to me, that is.
DB


If it is not a monitor gamma issue or a custom theme you can style it to 
make it extra obvious


WinKey+R

enter:
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\Profiles

Go into profile folder

[8-RANDOM-CHARS].default

Enter chome subdirectory, if not present create one

edit or create userChrome.css

/* Make active tab obvious I used yellow for demonstration */
.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] *
{
background-color: yellow !important;
}

Save and start SeaMonkey and see results when you create some tabs...

Take care,

Do the following for both computers.  In the SeaMonkey profile, open the
chrome folder.  Open the file userChrome.css in a plain-text editor
(e.g., Notpad, Wordpad, but NOT Word).

Where the two userChrome.css files differ relative to
.tabbrowser-tab
make the file on your wife's computer the same as on your own.

Between when Trump hinted there might be such tapes
and his denial, there was sufficient time to destroy
