From Control#setForeground(Color):

 * Note: This operation is a hint and may be overridden by the platform.
Comment 2 Lars Vogel CLA 2016-12-13 06:23:58 EST 
Thomas, maybe you can switch to CTabFolder? This allows to style the background and foreground color.
Comment 3 Thomas Singer CLA 2016-12-13 12:36:55 EST 
Sure this would be an option, but requires me to create an abstraction wrapper, so the using code does not need to know whether a TabFolder (OS X, Linux) or CTabFolder (Win32) is used.
Comment 4 Alexandr Miloslavskiy CLA 2020-05-18 12:11:37 EDT 
@Lars our product has eventually decided to use a custom-built control that mimics TabFolder. Therefore, I won't be able to spend time on this issue.
