Should I assume nothing sensible can be done about tabbing between 'widgets' without significant effort?

Circling back to my the original issue - visibility of which child window has focus. If the coloured border solution can't be readily applied to the Codeview and Preview windows, how about changing the colour of the dockable child title bar.

On Windows, if a dockable child is undocked, then its title bar will have the "Accent" colour when it has focus - i.e the border is redundant. So, why not do the same when its docked. When Codeview has focus the tag on the current tab-panel item could use the same colour. viz:

Maybe the F&R non-dockable child window could be given a title bar too, then its 'X' could be put where it belongs, at the far right - rather than the loony left :-)

Curious - why isn't the F&R child window dockable?
