can't see current tab very well

[Dennis Sunde]

I am having a hard time seeing which tab is the current tab when I have many files open. It appears raised, but it just doesn't look much different than the other tabs. A few times I even edited the wrong file because of it. I've tried changing my Windows color scheme, but that doesn't help.

Usually when I have a problem with TextPad, if I dig around in the Preferences window long enough, I find a solution; but not this time. I know that the tab control is probably a DLL/OCX/ActiveX/whatever control. But can anything be done to make it clearer which tab is current, like a different background color (ideally) a different foreground color, or at least making the filename bold?

Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Dennis

I never use tabs but rather the View/document selector. If this is positioned down the left hand side it seems to be quite effective. - The background of the current doc is grey.
