Tab buttons on Windows *do* accept background patterns, and you can
change the blending level.

Tab buttons on linux *do not* accept background patterns or colors,
but you can set the blending level.

You can set the opaque property of a tab button on Windows or linux
but it has no effect. You *can* set the icon of a tab button from the
messagebox, but I don't know whether that helps you or not.
