Studio 10.22 coloring the Tabpane

[Mike Rowan]

Hi John
Thanks for a wonderful illustrated response. After I sent my message, I had a thought about using a TabStrip and a PagedPane, same basic idea as yours.  It seems to give a very neat appearance. Just a bit of coding to do now. 

Now I have a new nightmare in that all my pusbuttons have changed from white to dull grey, as have popup lists. I have no idea how, and I can't see any modifyable settings that would be relevant.

Seems to me that messing with colors has its dangers!
