How do you change colours of individual tabs in a Container Object?

Tue, 23 Sep 2014 12:30:30 GMT

Hi all!

Is there a way to change the colours of each tab in a Container Object?

Let's say I have two objects, each tab should be in a different colour.

Is there a way to do that?

In the Presentation tab of Container Object properties there is a colour option but that applies it to all tabs.

Thanks!

Hi,

you have to go to your Tab properties (clikong on Object Tab Header) and not on the Container properties

Do you want to change background color of each object in container?

Hi Demoustier,

I am trying to change colours of each individual tab, this one seems to do it for both.

Hi Anbu,

Yes I am trying to change colours of each tab.

E.g in a container object:

Tab 1 should be Green

Tab 2 should be Red

etc

I do not believe this is configurable. All tabs in a container share the same colour, active and non-active tabs in the container will be a different shade of the same colour.

You can change the caption colour of each object in the container to be different.

you need to select each tab

then under properties, caption you define the colour for active and inactive caption

Hi there,

When I try to do this it doesn't seem to have any effect. I have set my Sheet Object Style to Air for example to allow changes but doesn't seem to work when I try your suggestion.

Hi Colin,

That is correct I can change the caption of a chart within a container object to be a different colour but was looking to see if the tab for the object is possible to change. Thanks!

Setting the colour for the inactive tab on objects inside a container will have no effect as a container only shows the active object based on the tab you click on.

You can set the active tab colour for Chart 1 to be Green and the active tab colour for Chart 2 to be Red,

but this does not affect the tab colours of the container tabs.

Container Tab colors can not be separated they all use same format.

I think you can have Text objects with different colors placed (Layer) below the container object exactly where the tabs appear and then you can make the Container tab color as transparent. something like below.
