SetGadgetColor and Tabber = bad idea?

Hi there,

I'm trying to set a custom background color to a tabber gadget:



In the example picture the main tabber panel background should be "Blue" as well. - Instead it reuses the default system colors?!

Is there a workaround for this?

Well, if you can get it working on Windows, can you send a mail to the wxWidgets guys, because they couldn't do it either.

Thanks! :-)

Implement your own non-native tabbed control ?

Thanks for the fast feedback! I just lost some more hair.

Yeah, I could add 2-3 buttons that show / hide the panels accordingly.
Are there any restrictions for Mac or Linux? Such as minimal button size?

Don't want to break cross-platform support.

Tabber gone, all works fine:


It gets harder and harder to find suitable places for new buttons though... :)

A tabber is just one way to switch to another panel with gadgets on top.
A small stepper or a slider with very few positions can do exactly the same.
An additional label can show what the panel and it's gadgets stand for.
