App designer TabGroup colours

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.
Still not fixed
Still not fixed in 2023!!! almost 2024
Please expedite this option. Thank you Mathworks.
Its now 2024 and still not working, please fix
Dark mode makes the tabs into the same color as the text, both of which are uneditable. Please fix.
Yes, please fix.
Same problem in Matlab2024b's App Designer.
Best wishes
