Colored tabs not showing up in Windows 8.x

Colored tabs not showing up in Windows 8.x

First, David, thanks for an increasingly wonderful product! Our IT life would not be the same without it.
And thanks for adding in the colored tabs feature back in the day. I did notice though that in Windows 8.x (and I believe this was with RDM 8.x and 9.x) the colored tabs aren't colored anymore, just the tab outline is colored. Same version (9.0.5.0) on Windows 7 shows the tabs colored, same data source.
Not a huge priority but could you look at this? Thanks much!

Could you post a print screen of what you get in Windows 8? You can disable the modern UI to get the old theme

Thanks for the quick reply, as usual. I do like the modern UI so I'll keep that for the time being. Here's a screenshot.

Hi,
I did some testing and I can't change the background when I'm in the modern UI style. I will contact the third party to see if we can do something about that.

The missing background coloring of the tabs is one of my main reasons for not using your modern UI.

I understand but it seems that the third party override the setting with the theme. They are supposed to release a new version soon. I will verify if this is fixed.

No rush, it's not a huge priority, but it's a beautiful feature. Thanks for all your (and your team's) hard work on RDM!
