True, but I'm afraid you can't explicitly set the background color of
tab i. According to the documentation at
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/stylesheet-reference.html#qtabbar-widget
, you can only manipulate a few specific tabs using style sheets
(:first, :last, ...).

You can reimplement QTabBar::paintEvent() and modify the
QStyleOptionTabV3 structure, but you've got to be careful not to mess up
with desktop integration.
