Tab control background color

[Peter Haworth]

Hi Jacque,
I missed the fact that the color didn't start until under the tabs.

Definitely seeing the blending though.  It's only noticeable if you pick a
light color, harder to see if you use a dark color.  Try putting a field
next to the tab control and setting both the backgrounds to Alice Blue, I
think you'll see what I mean.

Maybe "blending" isn't the right word.  What I mean is that the chosen
color appears darker than it should, presumably because it's somehow mixed
in with the the normal grey background of the tab.
