background color on tab

[esmith]

Hello,

I am using
SmartClient Version: v8.3p_2013-04-19/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2013-04-19)

With firefox 17.0.1


How do I set the background color on a tab. I have a tabset and some tabs. I can get the canvas on the tab to change background, but not the tab (the area behind the text on each tab) and the entire tab. Here is what I have so far, which works for the canvas.

Thanks,
Evan

HTMLPane htmlPane = new HTMLPane();
htmlPane.setAutoDraw(false);

htmlPane.setContentsURL("./html/Home/index.html");
		htmlPane.setContentsType(ContentsType.PAGE);
		String strColor = "#BFFF9F";
		htmlPane.setBackgroundColor(strColor);

		htmlPane.setWidth100();
		htmlPane.setHeight100();
		htmlPane.setPadding(0);
		tabHome.setPane(htmlPane);
		tabHome.setPaneMargin(0);
		tabHome.setAttribute("backgroundColor", strColor);
		tabHome.setAttribute("background-color", strColor);
		tabHome.setAttribute("background-image", "");

Tab tabHome = new Tab("Home");

If you're using simple simple tabs, you can modify the baseStyle for the tabs (via simpleTabBasestyle, for modifying all tabs, or via setAttribute("baseStyle", <styleName>); for a specific tab).
If you're using image based tabs, you'll need to supply custom tab media and modify the "src" attribute to pick it up
