set tab color in a tabbed terminal emulator
I would like to set in my terminal emulator (i.e. gnome-terminal) the color of the tabs like in the osx's terminal emulator. Is there this feature in any of the linux terminal emulator plethora?
EDIT: below a picture to better explain the desired result.

What do you mean the color of the tabs? The tabs themselves? The window background? Could you post a screenshot of your desired result?

I don't know what OS/X's terminal emulator does with colour on tabs, but if using GNU screen in xterm, you could add something like:
hardstatus string '%D %d %M - %c - %h (%n)^G^11;TekHVC:%n10/80/20'
To your ~/.screenrc to have a different background colour in every screen window/tab/pane (however you want to call them).
screen displays the hard status in the xterm title bar by outputting something like:
e]2;blaha
Above we set blah to include ae]11;TekHVC:%n10/80/20 where %n is expanded to the window number so for the first window, it becomes:
e]2;...ae]11;TekHVC:010/80/20a
e]11;...a is the xterm escape sequence to set the background colour. It supports various colour specifications, those supported by XParseColor from the X libraries. The TekHVC:Hue/Value/Chroma one, where Hue takes values from 0 to 360 (and wraps) allows us to select a different colour for each window (10, 110, 210, 310, 410 (aka 50), 150, 250...)
