Tab colours

Hey all

I was wondering if there is a way to manually set the tab colours in PWBv3?

I ask as we are both moving to CEF and changing our search interface, and so far in testing it has resulted in the tabs changing colour from what they used to be in the IE engined PWB3 Tab 0 yellow and tab 1 green to CEF with Tab 0 Blue and Tab 1 Yellow.

I know this sounds like a first world problem, but I know that there are going to be a few Librarians and Library Assistants here that won't be happy with the colour change.

If it can't be changed, that is fine. I can live with this :)

Thanks all in advance for your help

Both PWB IE and PWB CEF share the same Tab functionality and have the MFC Tab Control Auto Color set to true. This uses the predefined colors for the tabs.

Stating with PWB 3.05.2 we have added the following setting to the INI file.

[Toolbars]
CustomTabColors=#80FFFF;#8080FF;#80FF80

This will allow setting the custom colors for the MFC Tab Control Auto Color.
