merrymonk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there any way that you can assign the colour of the text in the 'label' in the tabs
of a dynatab frame?
I have tried using foreground but this is simply ignored

Re: Dynatab Text Colour

    Did you read the README?

    "-c <color> : set the tab color; <color> is any valid Tk color name"

      I have read some documentation about the dynatab.
      However, I think that this talked about the colour of the tab itself (which I can set) rather than the text string written on the tab.
      I could be wrong.

        You may be correct. The Manifest includes demo.pl, wherein we find:

        my $color = $args{-c};
...

my $dtf = $mw->DynaTabFrame(
    -font => 'Arial 8', 
    ...
    -tabcolor => $color,
        ....

        [download]

        Both the doc (aka readme) and the demo are a bit sparse.

        But you may wish to look at the output of the demo, which may provide some additional insights (if you find any colorized text).
