Dev channel update to 82.0.453.2 is live
DavidGB I sent them a feedback about the ugly swap of greys and blacks from old and new Edge, and I was complaining about the same thing. I can't believe how good the old one was compared to the new Edge. And yres, I keep closing the wrong tabs, as I get fooled about which one is the active one each time. The reason is clear...
Little game: avoid looking at your new Edge (Dev) window, look at the above image and try guessing which is the active tab and which is the inactive one on both new and old Edge. Then check yourself.
... WTF???
PS: and yeah, the UI rendering on the new Edge is still blurry, that is why I keep using the old Edge and I can't get used to new dark theme swapped colors. Come on guys, seriously, this is the f. browser of Windows!! I can understand you like choosing bad colors, but the rendering should work at least. If you couldn't get Chromium to properly render stuff on screen on Windows you shouldn't choose Chromium as a base for the default Windows browser.

so it's easy, tabs with darker color represent the inactive tabs, and the tab with lighter shade of gray represents the active tab, in the new Edge browser.
- This is fine for light themes, on dark themes, darker means active.
Both old Edge and Windows Terminal preview makes use of this correct design concept. I don't know why this new Edge should choose the opposite.on Light theme it's the same and consistent.
the tabs with darker shade represent inactive tabs while the tab with lighter shade/white represents the active tab.
there is nothing wrong with this design.
HotCakeXare you kidding? I already told you that when you invert light to dark you MUST invert darker/ligher relationships between color too.
That is not consistency. Consistency is: dark theme -> ligher inactive; light theme -> darker inactive.
What you wrote in bold is actually the UI design bug in new Edge. The light theme in new Edge is not bugged, the new Edge with light theme behaves as it should, i.e. the same as the old Edge.
Light theme color scheme: matching ✔
Dark theme color scheme: swapped :cross_mark:
Thank you for pointing out that light theme color scheme matches the correct one al like as in the old Edge, this is clear evidence of the color swap bug in the new Edge dark theme.

I wasn't using light them, what I said was for dark theme in Edge canary.
tabs with darker color represent the inactive tabs, and the tab with lighter shade of gray represents the active tab, in the new Edge browser.
