Description Marc Luzoff CLA 2002-11-01 03:29:17 EST 
the setBackgroundColorMethod on TabFolders doesn't work. There is no change if you set ist, it'll 
always be the default background color of the OS.

Just confirming this bug to be present in 2.1.1 also (using linux gtk2 here)

I have had an RCP based product ask about this bug.  It is not considered 
critical but would help them in some platform look and feel comparisons they 
are coming up against.  It looks like this one may have gotten lost in a 2.1 
bucket.  Will anything be done for this one in 3.0?

This is a Windows operating system limitation.  It is not possible to change 
the background color of a TabFolder.  In fact, Windows XP draws a theme 
gradient instead of a solid color.
