@mar-castelluccio - yes and no.  Terminal uses it's own Gtk Notebook
widget (tabbed interface) so the styling fixes don't apply cleanly to
Gedit which uses the "normal" Notebook which is shared across all other
tabbed interface components.  If & when we move to Gtk 3.20 then there
are a whole load of theme fixes needed so the generic Notebook will get
a fix at the same time.  Until then we probably won't fix generic tabs
such as used in Gedit.  If someone would like to work on it, then
patches would be very welcome.

  [SRU] Difficult to distinguish which tab is selected

Bug description:
  [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.

  * 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.

  * 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.

  [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 light grey 
background compared to the unselected tabs which are dark grey.

  [Regression Potential]
   * The patch only addresses tabs that are placed at the top of the window. 
However this is the only option in Terminal, so should not cause any problems.
   * There is a work-around to match the "actions bar" (the bit with the 
dropdown selector and + button).  This bug is supposed to be fixed in v3.20 and 
could be removed.  This is commented in the CSS.
