Public bug reported:

I am currently testing 13.04, but I was quite disappointed this bug from
12.10 was not fixed yet: I use the terminal (standard 'terminal' which
should be gnome-terminal) with black background and white foreground
color (apart from that: default Ambiance theme). It looks very nice as
long as you don't open multiple tabs. As soon as you open multiple tabs
you will be hit by a lightning... Suddenly the whole terminal gets an
ugly white frame and the tabs themselves (instead of being white on
black, too), are big white bars, too. How come this has not been
detected by anyone half interested in good design (about 70% of the
programmers I know work with white on black, not black on white. So I
assume a lot of people must have seen this).

The question is how to fix it. In 12.10, I partially fixed it as follows (but 
that does not remove the ugly white bars called tabs):
1) /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-3.0/gtk-widgets.css
2) set padding and border-width of ".notebook" to 0px.
Not very elegant... as I said. But I'm sure the experts in the field would 
easily know how to fix it. At least I hope very much. The massive white frame 
and tabs distract the eye for the 'white on black' setup. 

Note: this was asked as a 'question' (#225231) where it has been
suggested to file a bug report.
