Line highlight contrast between active/inactive files

#1

Does anyone have any idea how the contrast is handled between the line highlight of active files and inactive files? I typically work with several files open (two or three typically), and switch to a browser only to return to sublime without sufficient indication on which file I was last editing. I use a dark scheme with a red highlight bar and with several files the red highlight is different, but not enough. Anyone have a clue as to where I could access this value or create something to edit it?

Thanks in advance.

Sublime Text doesn’t support this out of the box. I hacked together a plugin a while ago that FichteFoll ran with and turned into something excellent:

Fantastic! I’ve put this issue out for help in a few places, and this is roughly the only response I’ve gotten. Thank you for your suggestion, SUPER helpful! If I find anything that can leverage a solution closer to an “out-of-the-box” type, Ill be sure to come back and post. Thanks again, great starting point!
