#104 Source-file tab color

Hi Pierre
I downloded version 2.7.3.36 and noticed at: Options/General/Extra the ability to choose a tab-style. The options BUTTON and FLATBUTTONS seems to give arealy good distinct visibility of the active tab. However, clicking a tab moves the current tab to the most right position. Not what I expected and not handy either. Or is that not suppose to work like that?
Thanks for any help.

Hi John C,
There is a new version - Just an attempt to better distinguish the active tabsheet.
We're using a "TPageControl" component and it has no "Color" property, only a "Style" property.
Hope this could help.

I'm trying to use a newer compiler - at the moment the project doesn't even compile.

Hi John C,
Thank you for reminding me of this issue.
From my understanding, you're asking for a specific feature: the ability to customize the background color of the active tab?

Hello John C,

Well, this looks like a bug. Unfortunately, I won't be able to access to my development environment for several days - and a "simple" remote desktop is not enough to investigate/fix such a bug.
Thanks for the attachments.
To be continued.

My previous answer probably lacked precision. Could you look at ms-windows desktop themes?
Because Dev-PHP is based upon them.
(In my humble opinion, once users have already selected their own theme, why should an app change it?).

I agree that it is a lighter color. However, the difference is not that great. More contrast would be much better. Thanks, John

Hi John C,
The active source tab is already highlighted with a lighter color (depending on the ms-windows theme).

Hi Team
To improve functionality, could you please highlight the active source-file tab with a distinct color, e.g. a darker color?
Thanks a lot
John
