Customize flutter Tab bar

Question

I am using a TabBar widget and I'd like to customize the TabBar view like this image. I tried lot of times bus there are some spaces between two tabs.

this is the code I used to customize the tab view.

TabBar(
            controller: _tabController,
            labelColor: Colors.black12,
            unselectedLabelColor: Colors.black12,
            indicatorSize: TabBarIndicatorSize.label,
            tabs: [
              Tab(
                child: Container(
                  decoration: BoxDecoration(
                    borderRadius: BorderRadius.horizontal(
                        left: Radius.circular(50), right: Radius.zero),
                    border: _tabController.index == 1
                        ? Border.all(color: Colors.black12, width: 2)
                        : Border.all(color: Colors.transparent, width: 2),

                    color: _tabController.index == 0
                        ? Colors.indigo
                        : Colors.white,
                  ),
                  child: Align(
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: Text("Income"),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
              Tab(
                child: Container(
                  decoration: BoxDecoration(
                    borderRadius: BorderRadius.horizontal(
                        left: Radius.zero, right: Radius.circular(50)),
                    border: _tabController.index == 1
                        ? Border.all(color: Colors.transparent, width: 2)
                        : Border.all(color: Colors.black12, width: 2),
                    color: _tabController.index == 1
                        ? Colors.indigo
                        : Colors.white,
                  ),
                  child: Align(
                    alignment: Alignment.center,
                    child: Text("Expense"),
                  ),
                ),
              ),
            ],
          ),

if you need to customize your tabs,my beautiful tabs source code may be help you,this is not relevent to this post

import 'package:flutter/cupertino.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';


class StudentScreen extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _StudentScreenState createState() => _StudentScreenState();
}

class _StudentScreenState extends State<StudentScreen> with SingleTickerProviderStateMixin {
  TabController controller;
  int activeTabIndex = 1;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    controller = TabController(
      length: 2,
      initialIndex: 1,
      vsync: this,
    );
    controller.addListener(() {
      setState(() {
        activeTabIndex = controller.index;
      });
    });
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Container(
        width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,
        height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            TabBar(
              indicatorColor: Colors.transparent,
              tabs: [
                Tab(
                  child: Container(
                      width: 100,
                      height: 36,
                      decoration: activeTabIndex == 0
                          ? BoxDecoration(

you can give radius to whole bottom not only the two tabs you can do something like this just give radius to all sides I need to give only top right and top left in my case

PreferredSize(
                  child: Container(
                    decoration: BoxDecoration(
                      color: Colors.white,
                      borderRadius: BorderRadius.only(
                        topLeft: Radius.circular(30),
                        topRight: Radius.circular(30),
                      ),
                    ),
                    child: TabBar(
                      // indicatorPadding: EdgeInsets.all(30),

                      tabs: [
                        Tab(
                          child: Text(
                            "Expnanse",
                            style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
                          ),
                        ),
                        Tab(
                          child: Text(
                            "Income",
                            style: TextStyle(color: Colors.black),
                          ),
                        ),
                      ],
                    ),
                  ),
                  preferredSize: const Size.fromHeight(70.0),
                ),
              ),
