Re: Color of text of the selected tab of Tab Panel
Thanks, Bob! I am quite open to using a different tab control. I might make my own or use another designer's tab control that fits in with the run-of-the-mill GUI. Hmmm, I’ve put some time into this look and feel, but I’m willing to consider a change, so I guess I should look at even exotic tab controls. In the mean time, I will try to set up something safe.

Re: Color of text of the selected tab of Tab Panel
Uurgh. I ran into this. It prompted me to create my own custom tab group around the tab widget. I overlayed buttons on the tab graphics, but the tricky part was getting the buttons to resize and reposition when new tabs were added.

Color of text of the selected tab of Tab Panel
I’m developing on a Mac. In order to change the color of the text on the selected tab of a Tab Panel I had to change backgroundColor. The seems weird. (I’ve been away, so I don’t remember how this should go). However, the .exe on Windows shows that text the same color as on the other tabs. I set other color properties except foregroundColor to a variety of colors to see if any affected the color, but that text is still black. I would like for it to work the same on both Windows and Mac. I do want to strengthen the emphasis for the selected tab. If need be, I can use a different method for the extra emphasis. I’d like to do it in a way that doesn’t break when any bugs are fixed. Ideas?
