Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.476]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal (Preview) Version: 0.5.2762.0


Steps to reproduce

open multiple tabs in terminal. The switch tab between them

Expected behavior

I can see which tab is active clearly.

Actual behavior -- Could we use a very different color to identify the active tab ?

Please see bellow picture. it's hard to figure out which tab is active when my monitor is not so good. I have to chick on each tab to find the active one.

not clear
