Tab headers from light theme in dark theme

This issue happens at least on Windows, not sure about other operating systems.

In the dark theme, most tabs have a dark background and white text, for example in the editor area, the different views, etc.

For some tabs in Eclipse's preference pages, no styling is applied. This is visible for example in General -> Compare/Patch, General -> Security -> Secure Storage, and a few other places. The selected tab appears white with black text, and unselected tabs appear light grey with black text. See attachment for an example.

Can this be changed by CSS? I'm unable to use CSS Spy in the preferences window, am I missing something?

This is caused by using SWT TabFolder.  

In our Eclipse-based product, we have a custom proxy class to use TabFolder on light theme and CTabFolder on Dark theme (only on certain platforms IIRC, Windows is definitely one).
