To be clear, considering my -0, I totally agree with the visibility
point.  This needs fixing, and I think the tabbed pane UI in FlatLaf
has an accessibility issue here anyway.  I just don't think that
changing the design of the tabs (particularly making them not flat) is
the way to fix it.  I think the colour palette needs more contrast /
accenting.  You can see this in some of the other software screenshots
you shared there.  You can also see it in menus, option categories,
etc.

I would also say I do think the PR should probably be merged.  I was
hoping Karl might have some thoughts on fixing some of the issues in a
way that more aligns with other areas of FlatLaf, but we can always
tweak further afterwards ...

Best wishes,

Neil
