Unable to Modify Tab Color

Win XP with XY beta 0076

I am trying to set the Open Tab Header to reverse the colors so it stands out more as follows:
Configuration\Interface Colors\Tab Headers

Using the color selection dialog, I select white for the text and black for the background
The following are returned:
Open Tab Text= FFFFFF
Background=000000

But the open tab header now disappears as it is white on white

-Also, 'Reset colors to factory defaults' does not work

The Background color can only be set in Visual Style Classic. (I should document this somewhere in the interface -- I know!)

And perhaps disable the fields for the other styles? Just to make it absolutely clear. :wink:

Otherwise I'm likely to forget about this fact, ignore the documentation, and report it in the future. :P

But it's only true for the main tabs, whereas the info panel tabs always can have a background color (they are always in classic style). So disabling is not the answer.

Ah.. so they are! I don't think I ever noticed that before.
