ralf3u created an issue (geany/geany#4264)

**Steps to reproduce**
1. condition: editor, sidebar and message window are visible
2. open a very long document, click in the very last last line so that the 
cursor is visible, then grab the scrollbar of the editor with the mouse and 
scroll upwards to the very top of the document
3. ask a person next to you which tab of the active tabs has focus (editor, 
sidebar or message window)

**Result**
There is no visible sign in the tab-title which tab has focus (editor, sidebar 
or message window).

**Expectation**
There should be a visible sign in one tab-title which tab has focus.

**Possible solution**
1. Maybe there is a possibility to add some CSS code in geany.css that is 
located in .config/geany/. A help for that could be 
https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/css-overview.html#theme-inconsistent-checkbuttons. 
But I couldn't find a way how to do it.
2. There exists a plugin for that (github.com/xiota/geany-tab-style). The 
plugin offers two different possibilities: Either there is only one visible 
sign for the tab that has focus (see 
https://github.com/xiota/geany-tab-style/issues/6#issuecomment-2726455715) or 
there is only in the sidebar a visible sign for the tab that has focus (see 
https://github.com/xiota/geany-tab-style/issues/6#issuecomment-2726456994). In 
the plugin I use for the visible sign of the tab-title that has focus this CSS 
value: border-bottom: 5px solid black.

If 1. is not possible, then Geany should be changed that way that one can add 
some CSS code in geany.css that is located in .config/geany that will add a 
visible sign in the tab-title that has focus. The issue should be fixed in 
Geany and not with a plugin (see above) because to see which tab has focus is a 
basic feature. I even think that it would be good if it would work right after 
the installation of Geany.

**History**
This issue is based on the knowledge of #3482

**System**
Lubuntu 24.04.2
Geany 2.0
