Another MacOS vs Win32 Tab Button Difference

Post by RCozens » Sat May 14, 2022 5:37 pm

Hi All,

Thanks to Richmond's intuition, he and I have discovered yet another difference between how Tab Buttons behave on MacOS vs Win32.

On MacOS if the Tab Button's backgroundColor is not empty, the text of the selected tab is displayed in that color; on Win32 the text color of all tabs remains the same regardless of the button's backgroundColor.

Once again I would caution anyone who includes a Tab Button in an app designed for multi-platform distribution to view it on both MacOS and Win32 before release.

Cheers!
