Container tab color

Is it possible to use a different color for each container tab? By setting the tab color it sets all tabs to be the same color.

Hi Jessica,

Containers are painful to use. Instead, I strongly recommend creating custom tabs using Textbox object. You can use Variables & Hide/Show property. Also, you can highlight the color based on the user selection. Another benefit is you can always identify the state of the object selection if you use Textbox approach and this is not possible in Container object.

I've made a video tutorial on my blog. Please check this link:

Good luck!

That sets all the tabs to be the same color. I need a different color for each tab...or am I missing something in your response?

Not possible. That's why I've recommended using Textbox approach. Please see the video on my blog.

Good luck!
