Yaru: Tab implementation slightly differs for regular and dark theme

Just an observation, I'm not sure if this is an oversight or if there is good reason to it.

  • The "close tab" button has a different hover effect for dark (lighter text color + grey background) and regular (only different text color) theme variant.
  • Tab bars in dark theme share the background with their "content"/widget part while in the regular theme they use the background color of the window.

Of course, but grey doesn't look as good as the brighter color in dark variant I think

We can't replicate all the effects in both variants because of the difference in colors.
Here for instance it is impossible to make light background brighter (light variant), but that doesn't mean that the effect is bad and should be removed from the dark variant IMO.

The equivalent hover effect for the light theme would be grey of of course (like it is in menus for example).
