Tabs background color

Post by chris9610 » Sun Mar 29, 2009 7:36 pm

Newbee To Revolution and working with windows environment.

Does anyone know how to change the background color of a Tab Menu control. I can change the Text color but the fill color does not seem to work for me.

TIA

Dear chris9610,

You can't do this while using a native Windows theme. You have to set the appearance to Windows Emulated to make the fillColor appear.

Best,

Thank you for the tip this worked as you stated.

Although I am not sure I care for the application total appearance, but it does offer options to consider.
