For me it's little hard to see why having different 
color schemes for different tabs is useful. But even 
if it is for some ppl, I think it's quite unusual 
feature, so I'd stick to well known default setting 
in this case rather than speciality, IOW I'd make 
the per tab setting an extra option, rather than 
the reverse.

Current behavior simply feels buggy, as there is 
no feedback or change at all after changing color 
settings.

Doesn't feel too good. If I want to change the colors 
I wouldn't necessarily like to close all file tabs 
and reopen them just to apply this color to each of 
them. I've never seen such behavior in any other IDE 
so far.

Displaying default will leave this matter confusing.

IMO per file theme should be set in a per file properties 
dialog, along with tab, EOL, codepage and possibly 
other per file settings (per file overrides rather).
Ideally there should be an option to set any of these 
to 'default' value, in which case it falls back to global 
setting.

Thank you.

Brgds,
