Important, because when unset, the tab will use the active Background color to create an inactive BG, which maybe isn't what we want. Consider - a bright cyan active BG, transparent inactiveBG, and terminalBG for the tabRow bg.

See also #13554. If we want to make the default theme tab.background: terminalBackground, we should make this transparent by default.

Important, because when unset, the tab will use the active Background color to create an inactive BG, which maybe isn't what we want. Consider - a bright cyan active BG, transparent `inactiveBG`, and `terminalBG` for the `tabRow` bg. See also #13554. If we want to make the default theme `tab.background: terminalBackground`, we should make this transparent by default.
