Incorrect active tab highlight color in active windows
Some time ago, the coloring of active tabs changed into something very confusing.
- expected (old) behavior: active tabs are lighter
- actual (new) behavior: active tabs are darker
For example, in the screenshot below, can you identify the active tab?
Only if you guessed "second", you would be right; the first tab is non-active and the third tab is in hover state.
Strangely, if the window becomes inactive, the logical tab highlighting colors apply:
I didn't report this at first because I thought “it's something I just need to get used to”, but I keep on confusing which tab I am at.
Please revert to the more logical tab coloring.

That is definitely not intentional.
I wonder if this is only a problem on OS 10.9. I don't have a 10.9 machine handy to test with at the moment, but I can set up a virtual machine later. Does it always happen for you? Is it also an issue if you use the "Dark" scheme (you can set it in prefs>appearance)?
It doesn't happen with dark. Here is the same situation (first tab inactive, second active, third hover).
I regularly update my iTerm2 version (nightly builds); I think this happened about a month ago or so. The behavior is consistent, doesn't disappear on restart. (As you can see above, it does disappear if the entire window is inactive.)
