Currently after setting a color for a tab label, that color appears only when the cursor is on the row of tab labels. This rather defeats the purpose of coloring the label. Wouldn't it be much better for the color of the label to remain in effect even if the cursor was not on the row of tab labels?
(If there is anyone who prefers the current behavior, how about at least giving users the option of choosing between these two different behaviors.)

Also a question: Where are the tab color settings saved? Not in 'Settings.json'...but where?
