The solution below using custom tab

class MyMerchantsScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyMerchantsScreen({super.key});

  @override
  State<MyMerchantsScreen> createState() => _MyMerchantsScreenState();
}

class _MyMerchantsScreenState extends State<MyMerchantsScreen> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late final TabController _tabController;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _tabController = TabController(length: 3, vsync: this);
    _tabController.addListener(_handleTabSelection);
  }

  void _handleTabSelection() => setState(() {});

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _tabController.dispose();
    super.dispose();
  }

  Widget _tabItem(int index, String title) {
    return Tab(
      child: Container(
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
          color: index == _tabController.index ? Colors.green : const Color(0XFFD1E5D2),
          borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
        ),
        alignment: Alignment.center,
        padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8.0, vertical: 4),
        child: Text(
          title,
          style: TextStyle(
            color: index == _tabController.index ? Colors.white : Colors.black,
          ),
          textAlign: TextAlign.center,
          maxLines: 2,
          overflow: TextOverflow.clip,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return SafeArea(
        child: DefaultTabController(
            length: 3,
            child: Scaffold(

                ),
                actions: [
                  TextButton(

                        style: TextStyle(fontSize: 18, color: Colors.black),
                      ))
                ],
              ),
              body: Padding(

  }
}

No way than you have to custom your own tab

You can refer to this example below

Listen to tab body change to update UI tab header, and vice versa, handle click header to switch tab body

I’m using StreamBuilder instead of setState to rebuild only the necessary widgets

class _TestScreenState extends State<TestScreen> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  late final _tabController = TabController(length: 3, vsync: this);
  final _focusingIndex = StreamController<int>.broadcast();
  late final StreamSubscription _streamSubscription;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _focusingIndex.add(0);
    _streamSubscription = _focusingIndex.stream.listen((index) {
      _tabController.animateTo(index);
    });
    _tabController.addListener(() {
      _focusingIndex.add(_tabController.index);
    });
  }

  @override
  void dispose() {
    _tabController.dispose();
    _streamSubscription.cancel();
    super.dispose();
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: const Text('My Merchants'),
      ),
      body: Column(
        children: [
          Container(
            padding: const EdgeInsets.symmetric(horizontal: 8),
            height: 50,
            child: StreamBuilder(
              stream: _focusingIndex.stream,
              builder: (_, snapshot) {
                final focusingIndex = snapshot.data ?? 0;
                return Row(
                  children: [
                    _buildTabBtn(focusingIndex, 0, 'Merchants'),
                    const SizedBox(width: 10),
                    _buildTabBtn(focusingIndex, 1, 'MerchantsnInvitations'),
                    const SizedBox(width: 10),
                    _buildTabBtn(focusingIndex, 2, 'My Invitations'),
                  ],
                );
              },
            ),
          ),
          Expanded(
            child: TabBarView(
              controller: _tabController,
              children: const [
                Center(
                  child: Text('Merchants'),
                ),
                Center(
                  child: Text('Merchants Invitations'),
                ),
                Center(
                  child: Text('My Invitations'),
                ),
              ],
            ),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    );
  }

  Widget _buildTabBtn(int focusingIndex, int index, String title) {
    return Expanded(
      child: GestureDetector(
        onTap: () => _focusingIndex.add(index),
        child: Container(
          alignment: Alignment.center,
          decoration: BoxDecoration(
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
            color: focusingIndex == index ? Colors.green : Colors.green.withOpacity(0.5),
          ),
          child: Text(
            title,
            style: TextStyle(color: focusingIndex == index ? Colors.white : Colors.black),
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
