Android: Highlighted tab of TabWidget not readable on HTC Sense

In my Android app I use a TabWidget without any special customization. I'd like Android to take care of the specific appearance, which works fine if you compare Android 1.6 with 2.1 for example. By just using a TabWidget the same code leads to different forms of tabs because the SDK defines how to draw it. Here is how it looks on 2.1 for...
