[Qt-interest] QTabBar background colors

[Benjamin]

Yes, if you need a color for each tab, QPalette is not a solution.
I think you could use the same trick already discussed about the color of a
context menu.

You subclass QStyle, override drawControl, and put the right color when the
tab with the right text is being drawn.

good luck,
Benjamin
