Change background color of tab button

[wallytax]

I have a TabSet and I want each tab button to have a different background color. I can't achieve this via the "backgroundColor" property on the tab object.

However, when the tab is selected I hardly see a difference in the style since the underlying class' background color is most likely overruled by the backgroundColor property. Using a style isn't quite possible either because I determine the background color from a database.

What could be a good approach? I was hoping I could change the background color on tabSelected(), but I don't think it is possible.

I've managed to get this working, so this question doesn't need an answer anymore.
