OK I see what the problem is now...
Old Silly Billy out on his Yacht from the grand ocean is trying to assimilate us all with his demands of accepting the fact we will like the style of tabs he dictates us to use along with all the other non overridable controls..
That's, fine. I did write a TTabs control way back for my Delphi, close to what they did back in the early days.. Maybe I can resurrect it from the long dead! I just hope it wasn't on the PC that crashed and burned on me then!
