App designer TabGroup colours
Show older comments
I have been creating an app in app designer, and I cannot see any way to change the grey border of a tabgroup where there are no tabs. It is very ugly and I would rather this be transparent - does anyone know a fix for this? Or any clever way of using HTML/CSS to make this possible? Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Currently, there is no option to change the background color(grey) of the tabgroup. I have brought this issue to the concerned people and it might be considered in any future release.

2,5 years later and still not fixed! Please provide full control over the colors, including borders of panels and tab groups. What is the point of having control of just some of the looks, very strange decision IMO. In general, it would be great if mathworks would make the existing functionality work rather than adding more half-working buggy features.

Dark mode makes the tabs into the same color as the text, both of which are uneditable. Please fix.

Same problem in Matlab2024b's App Designer.
