Thanks, that helped. I had some fights with the dialog in the tabs, sometimes it would refuse to accept different colors for in/active, a restart would fix that.
I have set me up some 12 colored groups using that registry entry.

Script for what ? 

But the colors are saved with the tab info in the registry (for portable version in the SessionConfig folder) So you might be able to script it

REG:\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MultiCommander\SessionHistory\a4c2985d9c7e4035a3221cfd600171d0\AutoLoad\[0...#]

If a tab has customized colors the following keys are there
TabColorTextInactive
TabColorText
TabColorBkInactive
TabColorBk

Have the colors..

Excuse me, i overlooked it.

IIRC before dark mode i had tab groups like for instance g:\ which had 2 kinds of green, one for active, one for not.
Now in dark mode this is not by default anymore, it seems i have to set each tab 'theme' colors, using the colorpicker twice, then duplicate the tab and finally save session.
But its quite some work, I wonder if a script could do that, or maybe some other means?

No you have to change the inactive tab color too as I wrote.

Click the dropdown box above the checkboxes that say "Active tab" switch that to "Inactive tab", Now you can define the color the tab should use when the tab is inactive.
Tabs have two colors. one for when tab is active and one of then it is inactive. normally you set them to similar but a little different to quickly see that the tab is active or not.

When i check 'use hover color' on a green tab and click on another tab it reverts to default color again.
When i check it, it's only green as long as i hover.

I have some tabs that have colors to indicate some project or disk so i'd like use various colors but those should be solid, else it's not readable.
But tabs that have solid color only get their special color when clicked on, else they are the default.

The restoration of window size has changed since the last beta version. "Restore" works exactly once to bring windows that did not appear on the taskbar onto the taskbar, and the second time the windows remain in limbo. Previously, with Autosizer, I only had to set the window size and position once, and for subsequent system starts, I used the restore function. Now, this only works for one system start, and the next time the windows end up in limbo again and can only be retrieved with the setup of position and size. So now I have to change the configuration of Autosizer every second system start.

So it works in previous version ? Sure ? because absolutely nothing about how that works is changed, nothing about how this work has changes for many many versions.. years even.

"Autosizer" ? 3rd party tool ? why you need that for MC.? what does it to ?
Maybe autosizer been updated and does not handle it correct.. 
Win 10 ? 11 ? Maybe some system update..

How would I reproduce it ? start minimized to tray or something ? or some other configuration that affect windows size/pos ?

In setting you defined default colors.  If all tabs should be green then do it here.

If you want customized color of some tabs then change the color in properties of the tab..
And in that dialog there is a dropdown "Active tab" / "Inactive Tab" switch this to define a color for then the tab is inactive

Something strange:
I have a few tabs with green color. Now if i right click on the tab and do Properties, then click Solid color, the visibility improves but if focus gets away from the tab it turns light-blue, the green color is gone, only when i hover it green comes back.
When 'use hover color when tab is active' is checked, the tab is green when hovered or clicked. When unchecked only when hovered.
What i'm trying to say, i can't get 'Solid color' with my desired green color, it reverts to light blue. I must be doing something wrong.
