Created attachment 138664 [details] Snapshot Build ID: I20090603-2000 Steps To Reproduce: 1.Open Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Colors and Fonts -> View and Editor Folders. 2. Set any color to "Inactive part background end" 3. The new gradient color(background start to end) is visible on Views, however it is not applied on Editors. Editor considers color only set in "Inactive part background begin" and thus, it fails to display the gradient color. More information: Snapshot shows the problem where the Inactive Editor doesn't look like other Inactive Views (Outline and Console views).
This is by design, allowing the editors to be distinguished visually from views. I don't know why we never added preferences for it, it may be because there are already three states for tabs, each with three preferences, and this would double them. It's been like this for a long time. We'll have a CSS based theme support in 4.0 which will call out these states more specifically, i.e. something like: .editor.active { background-color: ... } I'm not sure if anything will be done in 3.x.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
