I kind of wonder I think the theme background, text, and selection colors could flow through the whole interface.

Not having seen it, it’s hard to know. But I set my gutter to background, and I liked it.

Letting that flow across into the file browser, and up into the tab bar (selected tab = line highlight, other tabs = background, text in tabs = gutter line text or default text color) would create a single set of desired contrasts and meanings for colour on the screen.

bg-colored tab bar would play nicer with distraction free full screen also.

Is there any way to change the colour of the text and/or background in the tabs as the dark grey text on slightly less dark grey background makes it hard to read the text.
