--- Comment #1 from paul at paularcher.org ---
Bug #264180 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264180) has a good discussion
of the issue; it was unfortunately posted against the Oxygen theme, not konsole
itself.

konsole really needs a way to make the inactive tabs more distinguishable,
whether that is a change in color, font characteristics (bold, italics,
sizing), or size. I believe it needs to be independent of the theme, for a
couple of reasons. First, it's entirely possible that a theme suits a user
perfectly except for konsole, where the active tab needs to be more distinct.
Second, there are people like me who use konsole outside of the KDE environment
(in my case, in xfce4), and adjusting the style is more problematic (read:
impossible, as far as I've found).

FYI, my usage pattern (my "user story") is to open a new konsole window for
each project I'm working on (building and testing puppet modules, schlepping
files for a user, whatever), and have multiple tabs within that window. Eg. one
tab is the puppetmaster, one is a client, one is another client, etc.
