Highlight the tab of the currently viewed PDF

Hello Mark,

you should be able to control the appearance of things like the tab bar using Qt style sheets. [1] This can be modified by setting the "styleSheet" key in the "mainWindow" section of the configuration file as described in the man page.

Regards,
Adam

Thanks, Adam.

I added a line to the .conf under [mainWindow] but I must not have the syntax exactly correct. Can you see what I'm missing?

styleSheet=QTabBar::tab:selected {background-color: red; border:none;}

Perfect, thanks!

I ended up using grey not red
