[Qt-interest] QTabBar background colors

[Diana Coppenbarger]

But how do you tell it which tab to change the color of?  I don't  
think I have access to the individual tabs to use setPalette().  Each  
tab needs to be a different color.  If I call setPalette() on the  
widgets used in addTab(), the background of the whole page changes,  
but not the tab associated with it.  I can get the geometry of a tab  
by using tabRect(), but I'm not sure how to change the color using  
that value, if it's even possible.
