Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Gyle, That blue line changes position when the tabs are set to appear on the side of the register window instead of the top.

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Yeah, the inspector didn't help me much to find that so I'm probably just not going to worry about it. I tried the one thing I thought was correct from the inspector output and it didn't change.

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Works fine in GnuCash 4.8 on Linux Mint 20.2 (including whenusing a dark theme). The blue highlight bar appears under the colored tab when a tab is selected as the active tab. What OS?

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
I've only added some GTK CSS to control the register colors and to
control the margin and padding of the tabs so they wouldn't take as much
space.
The CSS I used is very minimal, this is its extent:
* {
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-primary {
background-color: #151515;
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-secondary {
background-color: #252525;
color: white;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-secondary:disabled {
color: #050505;
}
.gnc-class-user-register-cursor {
background-color: goldenrod;
color: black;
border-radius: 0px;
}
.gnc-class-register-split {
background-color: #050505;
}
tabs, tab {
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
I also did add this setting for GTK to switch to the dark theme:
[Settings]
gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=true
And that's it. The blue highlight works fine with the above
modifications as long as I have not assigned a color to an account.

Did you do any customizing of the color scheme in your machine beyond what
you can do in the preferences?

Re: [GNC] Colored account tabs in 4.8 don't show current selection
Your CSS might be at play. I'm using 4.8 and I have some tabs colored. They show the blue line just like the non-colored tabs. However, I have some padding/margin around these colors, so it looks more like a high-lighter effect. (the base color of the tab is still visible around the custom color) Perhaps your margin or padding needs to be examined, particularly on the right. It might only take a few px to expose the blue line.
