Change look of tabpanel tabs

[deezzub]

How is it possible to change the look of tabpanel tabs? I don't mean the forms in a tab, but the tab I have to click, if I want to switch from a form in tab to another form in a tab.

Why is it necessary to write an own tab controller and how?

How: http://www.servoymagazine.com/home/2004 ... ll_yo.html. Old article and code (we now have our own tab controller api's) but the general concept hasn't changed.

Why? Anything can control a tab panel. In the screenshot above I circled six tab controllers and missed a 7th and 8th (literally). They all look different and only one looks like a normal tab controller. Now imagine a UI with eight tab controllers all looking the same and compare. There's your reason.
