Inactive color is way too dark

[justinfx]

I think the style is overall great... but I don't understand why the inactive color is so dark that you can almost not read the tabs for anything but the active one. It would be great to be able to easily read what the other tabs (open files) say so that I can be sure of what I want to switch to. Basically...more contrast.

Maybe an increase in contrast like this?

please fix your monitor settings. This is the theme, i can't help all the peoples with screen settings problems

[justinfx]

Apparently I have a different monitor than every other Apple laptop owner, and am the only one that finds the contrast of the inactive text to background to be quite low. Are you sure your own monitor doesn't have high contrast?

I will just continue using local modifications to the color palette.

I use a macbook retina and iMac both with calibrated monitor (Spyder). Yew, the contrast is low (not so low) and you eyes will be grateful :)

I also find the contrast on inactive tabs to be a bit too low. What if you were to make the background of the tab a little darker but keep the text color the same? That might look good and make things more readable.

+1 for better contrast in tabs. It is not only about monitor calibrations but also about the surrounding lights in your real life workspace.
