Text Color on Tabbed Docks

Is There a Way....

Is there a way to change the text color on the tab that is selected, without changing the color on the others?

I don't think their is a way.

I do know that you can change the color of the tabs each with it's own color

Yep, no way to do it.

I believe this has been forwarded to Jeff as a feature request.

Yes it has, I wanted to be able to do this for so long. I put it into my post 'Some things I'd like to see for ObjectDock'.

Here's how I just changed my text color on the tabs: [Object Dock Plus /XP SP2/ currently using Kali tab 1] But I've done it on other styles also.

First get the RGB numbers of the color you want to use, I use a color picker (pixie) I wanted to change from black 0 0 0 to a blue 37 124 244.

Then I opened the docks configuration window and doubled checked which tab theme I was using.

Went to C:\Program Files\Stardock\ObjectDock\Backgrounds\Tabbed opened the KaliTab1 folder and then opened the background.ini file (right click and choose to open as text or -open with- notepad) went to the text color entry and changed it, saved the notepad & closed it, closed and re-opened ObjectDock and there's my blue text.

Whoops my bad, that changes all the text colors not just when selected. Should have read the question better the first time
