Hi,
First let me thank you for creating iTerm2: it's really a great tool!

I've been searching for a config option to change the text color for the labels of inactive tabs, but I couldn't find it. Is there maybe a way to make the labels of inactive tabs a bit more readable? It seems this happens when you use the "Dark (High contrast)" theme in combination with tabs with background colors. I've added a screenshot as attachment: the labels of tab 1, 2, 4 and 5 are quite difficult to read.

Kind regards and thank you in advance for any tips or tricks,
Dries
