Change background color for the selected tab
In IntelliJ, I can change the background color of the selected tab through Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → General → Tabs → Selected Tab, but the change only applies to regular source files. It doesn’t affect tabs for files in the test environment (e.g., src/test/java).
How can I apply the same background color settings to test files as well?
Currently, there is very little difference between the selected tab and the others (all are almost the same shade of green), which makes it difficult to quickly identify the active file.

Hello,
In IntelliJ, you can change the background color of the selected tab through Settings → Editor → Color Scheme → General → Tabs → Selected Tab, but this setting only affects regular source files. Unfortunately, it doesn’t automatically apply to tabs for files in the test environment, such as those under src/test/java. As a result, the selected test file tab looks almost identical to the others, making it difficult to quickly identify the active file. Applying a distinct color specifically for test files would make navigation much easier and improve overall workflow clarity.
Best Regards
Unfortunately, there isn’t a direct setting to apply the same background color specifically to test tabs. One workaround is to adjust the Editor → Color Scheme → General → Tabs → Background or Inactive Tab colors so that the difference between active and inactive tabs is more pronounced across all tabs, including tests. Another option is to use a different editor tab placement or appearance theme, since some IntelliJ themes provide better visual distinction for test vs. source tabs.
