Description of the new feature

Today, when you have a unfocused tab, the background changes, but not the color of the title. If the focused and unfocused colors are almost the same, you have problems to see which one is focused.

Proposed technical implementation details

Let the title text to be customized, like the unfocusedBackground, but for text title (unfocusedTabTitle, maybe?). Or, at least dim the title text too.
