There was a problem hiding this comment.
wait, this doesn't cause Terminal to look wrong on the default themes? The resource makes it sound like it MUST be the deselected one... what happened?

Just downloaded the build unpackaged and tested it with no theme set (with and without high contrast mode). Still looks correct.
I'm with you, the resource sounds like it should be the deselected one though haha. But when I tested it with the "Snazzy" theme from the bug report (unfocused = Red, selected = Green), I noticed that there was actually a green outline on the selected tab:
I bet the colors are layered or something like that.

Turns out that the `"TabViewItemHeaderBackground"` resource should be set to the _selected_ color instead of the _deselected_ color. In 1.22, (pre-#18109) we actually didn't set this resource. But we do actually need it for high contrast mode! (verified) ✅ High contrast mode looks right ✅ "Snazzy" theme from bug report looks right Closes #19343 (cherry picked from commit b62cad6) Service-Card-Id: PVTI_lADOAF3p4s4AxadtzgfrGvM Service-Version: 1.23
