Inconsistent and low-contrast active state for Profile tab in bottom navigation

[techrifter]

Hi team 👋,
I noticed that in the bottom navigation, the Profile tab shows an extra black background circle when active, while the other tabs only use the blue highlight. This makes the Profile tab inconsistent with the rest and also creates a low-contrast issue (the black circle blends into the dark background).

To improve both consistency and accessibility, it might be better to use the same highlight style across all tabs, or introduce a clearer, high-contrast indicator for the active state.

Hi @samfusedbits,

Thanks for pointing this out! Consistency and sufficient contrast in active states are crucial for both usability and accessibility. Using the same highlight style for all bottom navigation tabs or ensuring a distinct, high-contrast indicator for the Profile tab would definitely help improve the user experience.

I hope the team can prioritize fixing this to make the UI more uniform and accessible. Great catch!
