I do have to look a bit harder in Sigil, so my eyes look to the red cross as the differentiator.

I simply can't figure out why being able to immediately see which tab is active (in any program) is useful for any kind of workflow. It must be because the active tab is the one I'm using/editing, so I have no need to see the tab. I also rarely have a ton of tabs open at the same time, so the file names are pretty easy to read whenever I'm looking to switch.
But if people need that visual aid, then they need it. I'll see if working some of Becky's qss into Sigil's Classic dark theme will work without any issues. I think the clearly darker tab background is enough (without the blue bar) myself, so I'll probably start there.
If you're seeing the red cross, @BR, you're not using the Classic Sigil dark theme. You're using Qt's default dark theme. I refuse to do much in the way of diddling with that theme. Remember that users are free to apply their own custom qss to either theme to tweak things to their liking. That's what the qt_styles.qss feature was introduced for in the first place.
