Good luck ! Comments I do not know, but I guess that if you change the JSON Config File, you can change the colour. Good luck !

In eclipse: go to the BT_activity_root_tabs.java file and uncomment line : 144 to 150 (make sure to comment out line 144) public static void setTabColor(TabHost tabhost) { /* uncomment this to change tab colors when a tab is selected... BT_debugger.showIt(activityName + ":setTabColor"); for(int i = 0; i < tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildCount(); i++){ tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(i).setBackgroundColor(BT_color.getColorFromHexString("#000000")); //unselected } tabhost.getTabWidget().getChildAt(tabhost.getCurrentTab()).setBackgroundColor(BT_color.getColorFromHexString("#999999")); // selected / And line 307. Replace to hex values with your colour. public static void setTabColor(TabHost tabhost) { / uncomment this to change tab colors when a tab is selected...

I am working on an Android app, trying to change the tab color, but the code you referenced in your post is not coming up in Eclipse. Do you know how to change the color with a Buzztouch 3.0 Android app? Thank you, Comments Hi Drecul, Has the method to change tabs changed?
