Bug Description

When using several tabs in Guake the currently active one isn't easily distinguishable at a glance from all the inactive ones. It would be nice if there was some really obvious difference (perhaps emboldened text or a different colour background to the button); I keep finding myself mis-identifying the currently-active tab and typing commands at the wrong host; the attached screenshot hopefully illustrates the confusion rather than my poor eyesight :)

I seems odd that they're represented as buttons rather than tabs, too.

In case it helps illustrate the point, here's a screenshot of Guake in gnome-shell (on Debian) where it's really clear which tab is currently-selected.

In summary, light-themes does not properly follow the gtk3 theme spec and so the current focused window looks identical to all the others.

Actually, ignore that. The gtk widgets use a different theme file to the window decorations, and that bug was with human-theme anyway.
