No that works fine. If I change the color of the text with
setTextColour(TABCONTROL2,White). That works ok.

If I change the background with  setBackColour(TABCONTROL2,#FFFFFF). The
background always turns white and text black no matter what color I put in there.

The text background text would be the color center of the "O".
The background color would be the whole tab except the text.
I would like to change the text background and the Tab background to the same
color. But different colors for each Tab.

I want the same as this but with differnt colored Tabs instead of Buttons.

I don't care why. I'll try Mike's version and see if it will work with
copyDib().
