I think GTK supports svg, png, jpg as well (at least).

CSS is definitely where images are specified.

See 
https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/css-overview.html#:~:text=CSS%20nodes,each%20node%20are%20linearly%20ordered.
As well as how to specify images, how to specify states, eg active
tab, that has an example of changing a notebook tab colour.  You would
need an alternative image, so maybe changing the colour will be
sufficient if you make your active tab bright orange so it stands out
;-)
