Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.96 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: I've been working as a customer tech support at a computer store for the past 4 years, so I've seen a LOT of computers. I've noticed that a lot of people have chosen a Window color that completely ruins the text legibility of background tabs in Chrome. It's not a specific version of Windows that is a problem, I see it from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Please, make background tabs completely opaque, they shouldn't be translucent. Making them translucent was a mistake. This is a significant issue and it really needs to be addressed. Making background tabs opaque will greatly improve the experience. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? see above Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 58.0.3029.96 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version:

Sorry for yet another post here but a friend of mine just told me something that I thought is worth mentioning here: apparently Firefox was considering making the background tabs translucent when they were planning their 'Australis' GUI but they scrapped it for this very reason, doing so would harm the text legibility for millions of people. Also, Edge has opaque background tabs too and I'm sure that's on purpose

This seems to be a feature request for OS-Win. Hence, marking it as untriaged for further investigation. Thanks...!!

Or at least give users the option to disable translucency. Microsoft lets users turn off transparency in Windows 10... Also, Firefox is updating their GUI right now (called Photon) and they again ruled out transparency because of its effect on text legibility and word recognition but also favicon recognition

Here is a screenshot of a customers laptop today... This should not be possible. Please, just make the background tabs opaque. (in case there's any confusion, I'm not asking the background tabs to look the same as the active tab, they should still be darker, but they should be 100% opaque)

There's no way this passed UI review for Windows 7. You can see through background tabs right to the desktop wallpaper. This really should be brought to someones attention
