Updated bug to make it SRU compliant.
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: unity + [Impact] + * When a user opens multiple tabs in GNOME terminal all tabs are styled in a *very* visually similar manner. This makes it very hard to distinguish between the current active tab and all the others and on a HiDPI screen pretty much impossible. - In tabbed interfaces such as in gnome-terminal under unity it is - difficult to visually distinguish the selected tab from the unselected - ones. + * This fix has been ack'd by design and was targeted for X but didn't + get reviewed and OK'd in time. Design team have approved this styling. - In the attached screenshot, gnome-terminal has three tabs open, and the - third one is selected. If you look close you can see the text is - slightly whiter than the other tabs, and the border is a little more - prominent but to my old man eyes it's really hard to see it at a glance. + * This bug is fixed by extending the CSS specifically for Terminal (i.e. + no other applications are affected) giving the active tab a darker + background colour (using only theme defined colours) and reworks the + borders around the tabs to remove the graduated image borders that only + look right on a light coloured background. Changes have been made for + both Ambiance and Radiance. - Under metacity, the difference is more notable (or at least, the theme - is different). + [Test Case] + * On a stock 16.04 install open GNOME Terminal (ctrl-alt-t) + * Open five new tabs (ctrl-shift-t) + * Click on the tab in the middle + * Note that it is hard to see at a glance which tab is currently selected + * Close Terminal and all open tabs. + * Install the patched theme + * Open Terminal and open five new tabs + * Click on the tab in the middle and note that it takes on a dark grey background - My guess is this is a theme issue rather than unity, but I'm unsure. If - it is just a theme issue please refile to the right project. - - ProblemType: Bug - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 - Package: unity 3.8.8-0ubuntu2 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic-pae 2.6.38.2 - Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic-pae i686 - Architecture: i386 - CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,staticswitcher,resize,fade,scale,session,unityshell] - Date: Fri Apr 15 17:41:12 2011 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Alpha i386 (20110202) - ProcEnviron: - LANGUAGE=en_US:en - PATH=(custom, user) - LANG=C - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: unity - UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to natty on 2011-04-04 (11 days ago) + [Regression Potential] + * The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window.
