I want to check my understanding about using Stephen Lebans' solution
for coloring tabs' background. I'm pasting his old post, as replying
to the thread wasn't allowed.
His sample database seems to have "Use Windows themed controls"
disabled. Checking it back forces the background to remain white even
in his sample database.
Does this means there is truly no way of keeping Windows theme and not
have a white background for the tab control? I don't want/need custom
color, just the default gray. The white background is quite hard on
the eyes whereas choosing not to use Windows theme makes the database
look out of the place with the XP environment and thus irritating
users.
I already saw another post solution of pasting a rectangle behind the
tab control. As far as I can tell, this will not work, and transparent
control does exactly nothing.
But there's a possibility that I'm missing something simple here, so
maybe anybody could enlighten me?
Thanks!
