Fomatting Tab Panel Headers

[brian rich]

Is there a way you can change the selected and non-selected colours on the tab headers?

Currently, the background colours on the tab headers are white (selected) and gray (not-selected). For example I'd like to be able to have the selected tab showing a red background and the non-selected tabs to be white.

The fill colour of the tab body should not affected when you switch tabs.

Thanks

Many Thanks Lauren for that sample file.

It would be nice if Filemaker allowed us to specifcy the attribute directly!

Quite welcome and I should note, this will not work before FM9. That was when Fixed Width tabs were introduced.
