I think that the active Konsole tab should be made to stand out better than it does. I often have lots of open tabs and find it a bit hard to quickly tell which tab is active before I start switching tabs with keyboard shortcuts.

Suggestions for better highlighting:

 1. use different color for selected/unselected tab font
    probably the least intrusive from a design view

 2. make text of active tab bold
    this will make other tabs wider than they need to be when not
    selected or will make tab width vary from selected/unselected

 3. any others?
