request: "inactive tab should use inactive color for that window"

When using "automatically match the color of custom titlebars", it matches great...

but I want an option "inactive tabs shouild use the inactive color for that window titlebar"..

With this setting on, the inactive color of each tab would match the inactive color of that specific window title bar... instead of all going grey when inactive.

Reason being, I use several different chrome profiles, each with different chrome themes to keep them separated.. and it would be nice to have their titlebars colored according to theme. Because right now when they are inactive they are all just showing up as light grey chrome windows in Groupy.

I tried "inactive tabs should pickup the active color".. but this just makes inactive tabs be the inactive color of the current active tab.. which is not what I want either.

The one downside of this direction is visual aesthetic of "rainbow colored tabs" that will occur when multiple tabs like this are grouped together..

I thought of a good idea to solve this, which is to just put in a subtle stripe coloring each tab with the custom window color of that tab..

This is what is looks like today...

And here is a (mediocre) mockup of what I wish it would look like, where the inactive groupy tabs somehow included the custom color of each window.. so I could tell apart my different chrome profile sessions (which all have different themes, with different colored windows, but the same chrome icon)
