Thanks for this Alex.

I'm using "tabbar-20140316.600" from the elpa stable. I currently have
*every* tab with a black background and red foreground/text, and the
buffer that I'm working in is showing a green background and red
foreground! But I'm happy with that as the difference is easy to see. But
thanks anyway.

Sharon.
