source: http://harts.net/reece/2013/02/26/highlighting-the-active-tab-in-gnome-terminal/ In recent iterations of GNOME terminal, the active tab is nearly indistinguishable from the inactive ones. That makes it harder to navigate when you’ve got a bunch of terminals open simultaneously. Fortunately, GNOME uses a modified CSS scheme to control theme appearance, and that makes it easy to highlight an active tab. Here’s how. * Create (or edit) ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css. Add these lines: <source lang=css> @define-color ubuntu_orange #fb9267; TerminalWindow .notebook tab:active { background-color: shade(@ubuntu_orange,1.1); } </source> Then, exit all open terminals, and then open a new terminal and create a tab.
