First proposal that was discussed in the Matrix "Proton" channel on April 5th.
Mock-up by non-UX people, so review necessary.

Moving the indicator inside the tab content isn't going to solve the issue for all themes. A better solution might be to allow custom colors configurable by the user (bug 1325057) and/or through the Theming API.
