Highlighted query tab in a light Theme is hard to find for me

Hi guys,

I use HeidiSQL 12.5.0 in Windows 11. The hightlighted query tab is really hard to distinguish. I tried different themes and it seems only the dark themes highlighed tab is obvious but I prefer to use a light one. Do you know how can I adjust an existing theme? Thank you!

That's really a problem in the default Windows theme. I already found myself searching the current tab in several tab lines. But it seems difficult if not impossible to find a better tab/page control with such a highlighted tab. I will keep my eyes open.

Highlight active tab of most page controls, by adding greyscale icons to image list and using these for all inactive tabs. See https://www.heidisql.com/forum.php?t=41323

Next build has grayscale icons on inactive tabs, so only the active tab has a colored icon. Should be slightly better now:
