Hi,

when I went to CS6 I noticed that I was expected to spot for the bold text denoting that tab was the active tab, for my image. Prior that it was very easy with a lighter grey and black text or maybe even a colour difference.

I have just taken the plunge and gone for 26.2 and now the tabs ARE ALL THE SAME.

Who decides this nightmare ?

I need to make the active tab stand out, how is this done ?

perhaps its in UIcolors.txt

just where ?

The active layer no longer being light blue (again some developer messing things up) is easy to fix by a dropdown choice in edit preferences I was shown, in another post.

Active image IS JUST AS IMPORTANT.

I bet no one was complaining that it was too easy to spot. If it works dont fix it.

I am working with printscreens of the adobe interface so have tabs all over the place which are not even tabs as such, but printscreens of them !

so attached show what I mean. THEY ARE NOW ALL THE SAME. the untitled one contains a printscreen of the two prior to it.

and the CS6 one, they are at least slightly different.

Testing on Windows 11 with Photoshop 26.2.0. There is always a difference when using tabbed documents, and you can tell which tab is active. It's either the text that is lighter or the tab color, depending on the color scheme selected in preferences. When using floating windows, the experience differs when the lighter UI is selected in preferences, as previously mentioned by @Jeff Arola

Hi,

I have 26.2 set up as CS6, correct greyscale for 18% and to not give false sense of image brightness, and that is 2nd grey value from right in preferences. I work with colour matching and use holes in cartridge paper of a 18% grey value as is correct, and have pshop as its working with colours, set same way, always have done.

it was not good in CS6, it was great before then, but now its bad. there is NO difference AND THERE SHOULD BE.

So Adobe need to fix this as I cant see what I am working on !

and for windows 10 as wild horses will not drag me to 11. designed by a company who dont have to do actual work with a PC.

Seems to be a bug in the Windows Photoshop versions including Photoshop 2025 (ps ver 26.2)

where with floating document windows the two lightest Color Themes do not differentiate the active document window whereas the two darkest Color Themes do.
