Changing color in Tab strip

[Prahalad]

Could some one help me as to how to change colors of tab strips or anyother tool source or method for beautification of tab strips in desktop applications

If you're using .NET, Tab strips come with errors, so you should avoid them. I use the Panels, and place a set of flat buttons - so customizing them is really easy.

For tab strips (if you have to use them) you can place an picturebox the exact size of the strip, and then make changes (color, other images on top, etc) on that picturebox.
