As TabFullColor approaches 100, the font color of the active tab becomes blurry

[cpp64]

[Configuration]
TabFullColor=100

[Colors]
ActiveTabColor=$00FFFF

os: windows 11 x64 22h2
tc: 11.00b5 x64, white mode


As TabFullColor approaches 100, the font color $000000 of the active tab becomes blurry.

The active tab font color $000000 changes to around $005F5F. (more bright)

It looks like the alpha color $00FFFF overlays $000000.

Yes, this is exactly what happens! Windows itself draws the font, and the overlay color is just drawn on top with alpha. This cannot be changed.

Using TabFullColor closer to 100 makes the font blurry, which is worse than not using it at all, but I was able to get a pretty good result using it around 30.

Thank you for the answer.
