        Color.fromARGB(255, 31, 89, 169),
        onValueChanged: (index) {
         setState(() {
           selected = index;
         });
         },
        ),

Solution

  • You can use a combination of a normal TabBar, BoxDecoration and LinearGradient for this:

    Code Example:

    import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
    
    void main() {
      runApp(MyApp());
    }
    
    class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return MaterialApp(
          debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
          home: Scaffold(
            body: Center(
              child: MyWidget(),
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }
    
    class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
      @override
      MyWidgetState createState() => MyWidgetState();
    }
    
    class MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget>
        with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
      late TabController _tabController;
    
      @override
      void initState() {
        _tabController = TabController(length: 2, vsync: this);
        super.initState();
      }
    
      @override
      void dispose() {
        super.dispose();
        _tabController.dispose();
      }
    
      @override
      Widget build(BuildContext context) {
        return Scaffold(
          appBar: AppBar(
            title: const Text('Stack Overflow Example'),
          ),
          body: Padding(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16),
            child: Column(
              children: [
                Container(
                  height: 45,
                  decoration: BoxDecoration(
                    color: Colors.grey[300],
                    borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(
                      25.0,
                    ),
                  ),
                  child: TabBar(
                    controller: _tabController,
                    indicator: BoxDecoration(
                      borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(
                        25.0,
                      ),
                      color: Colors.green,
                      gradient: LinearGradient(
                        begin: Alignment.topRight,
                        end: Alignment.bottomLeft,
                        colors: [
                          Colors.pink,
                          Colors.deepPurple,
                        ],
                      ),
                    ),
                    labelColor: Colors.white,
                    unselectedLabelColor: Colors.black,
                    tabs: [                  
                      const Tab(text: 'Personal'),
                      const Tab(text: 'Group'),
                    ],
                  ),
                ),
                Expanded(
                  child: TabBarView(
                    controller: _tabController,
                    children: [
                      Center(child: Text('Personal Content')),
                      Center(child: Text('Group Content')),
                    ],
                  ),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        );
      }
    }
