It pretty much does that anyway???
Prompted by this, I did just change eamenus.ew, ~line 535 from:

ext = getFileExtension(filenames[currfile])
	if find(ext,{"ex","exw","exwc","htm","html","bat"})
	or (equal(ext,"") and match(untitled,filenames[currfile])=1) then

to just:

if find(getFileExtension(filenames[currfile]),
		{"ex","exw","exwc","htm","html","bat"}) then

Since there is little point having the Run button enabled for "[untitled]" and
hence unsaved filetabs, but otherwise I don't get what you mean.

It seems wrong to enable the run button for exu files on a Windows machine.
I run html and bat files from Edita all the time, no problem there either.

WHOA! As you look at the 2380 lines of code that is ColouredButtons.ew, recall
that is for single static buttons - think how much more complicated all that line
drawing would be on a TCS_MULTILINE tab bar!

Anyway, I figured somthing else out:

I don't recall that exactly, but I had a quick ten-minute play and found this
worked reasonably well on arwen's demo_tabs.ew. In procedure drawTabItems, ~line
4870, replace:

if and_bits(state, ODS_SELECTED) then
	void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, COLOR_MENU+1})

with:

colour = ObjectBackColour[id]
    if colour=UNDEFINED then
	colour=COLOR_MENU+1
    end if
    void = c_func(xSetBkColor, {hDC, colour} )
    void = c_func(xSetBkMode, {hDC, TRANSPARENT} )
    void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, colour})
    -- if the tab is selected then (i) blank the background and (ii) 
reposition text higher
    if and_bits(state, ODS_SELECTED) then
--	void = c_func(xFillRect, {hDC, lpRect, COLOR_MENU+1})

Also in arwen.ew, after procedure setTextColour, add:

global procedure setBackColour(integer id, integer colour)
    ObjectBackColour[id] = colour
    repaintWindow(id)
end procedure

global function getBackColour(integer id)
    return ObjectBackColour[id]
end function

Then finally, in demo_tabs itself, I added:

setBackColour(TABCONTROL2, c_func(xCreateSolidBrush, {Yellow}))

It might suffer some more tweaks, and definately benefit from use of more subtle
colours, but the basics are there.
