Switch FlatLaf JTabbedPane tab type to card. #6070

Yeah, I think it's better. In the output pane, having cards on the inner level did avoid the awkwardness of nesting two levels of tabs, but the cards were never very easy to read at a glance or in peripheral vision, especially when the output pane is not focused.

@mbien not sure I understand. This does make everything a similar card style. The earlier editor and view tab changes made them already this style. Do you mean accent coloured? The screenshots here don't show the overline colour when focused, because it's the unfocused tab selection that's hardest to see. We also have some weird focus issues in the options dialog, which doesn't help (find grabbing focus). |

ah right. I forgot that "sort opened document list by project" is swapping the tabs around. I thought we merged this #4948 :) |

ah, OK. We might want to merge the underline to overline switch from your PR pending further changes so at least when enabling multitabs it's somewhat consistent? |
I read through the discussion on the other PR and nobody said no to the tab rendering fix. So I suppose we can? Will prepare a PR. edit: see #6073 |
Switch the FlatLaf tab type for standard JTabbedPane to card (from underline). Also add some top inset as that's necessary in a few places.
I've been running with this configured in local UI properties for months now. I find the underline tab type, particularly when unfocused, difficult to discern which tab is active. This seems to fit better with the editor / view tab changes too. Thought I'd open this as a potential default change ...
