    The solution is to use an OS Accent colour that affords a certain amount of contrast.  And have checked ✔ Show accent colour on Title bars & window borders.

    I run Dark & have no trouble seeing the tabs.  I found out it depends on the OS Accent colour used how easy or hard it is to see the tabs.

    Cheers,

      Nope. That works for, say, Windows Explorer, but for Edge Dev is has the reverse effect. When Edge Dev looses focus, it is displayed as you mention, but as soon as it gets focus, the setting has no effect.

        Funnily enough, the all dark is how I'd prefer it to be for Edge.... Swap title bars?
