How can I know which tab is open?

If I have six projects all that start with the same name and one is open I should see the one open as highlighted in the tab at top of workspace.

All tabs look the same no matter which one is open!!

Well, they are actually different. Just not sufficiently so for many users, as has been mentioned by other users over the years regarding the UI’s usability.
The active tab’s colour in RGB is 51,51,51 and inactive it is 41,41,41 so only a difference of 10! A difference of 20 would be better.

It's subtle, but there is a distinction in background color in the tabs bar between active and inactive.

Here, for example, is a Dark UI example. The Appearance tab and the right-most document tab are lighter, and therefore active.

You can make them stand out a bit more in that UI by adjusting the UI Gamma in Preferences. Here it is with the Gamma adjusted downward, though it remains subtle.

Here it is in the Light UI:

Again, the lighter ones are active.

A little inspiration for Serif from good old Adobe 🙂
