I know, but the color change is too subtle to always catch my eye, 
especially if I am concentrating on a battle. The contrast between a 
message box popping up, which prevents one from seeing all the map, and 
a tab changing color is huge.

In general the tabs are great. However, in one case, the economy report, 
I do not like the tabbed report. Previously, I kept the economy report 
always open in the lower right corner of my screen, which allows me to  
quickly glance down to see if my income is large enough or should be 
increased.

What I'd really like is the total gold (+ or -) displayed on the left, 
after the "Gold" value on the left hand side of the screen, for example 
Gold 52  +2.
