Hi Figma team,

In Figma on macOS dark mode, the active tab state is too subtle and difficult to recognize at a glance, especially when using a dark desktop wallpaper/background.

This became more noticeable after the release of tab groups. Tab groups have stronger color treatment and take more visual attention, while the active tab outside of a group can be hard to identify quickly.

I attached a screenshot as an example. In this case, the Config tab is active, but the difference between it and the tab next to it is barely visible.

It would be helpful if the active tab in dark mode had stronger contrast or a clearer visual indicator.

Thanks.
