How to change File Tab color

When I switch to Windows High Contrast mode, the file tabs get converted to black text on a black background.

I have tried different color templates and cannot find any options that will allow me to change the color of the text on these tabs. Does anyone know a way to change the file tab text color?

To try this yourself, open up a couple of files n Zeus (My version is 3.97f) and then hit the keystroke Alt+Shift+PrtSrn. You will be prompted about entering High Contrast mode. Say "yes" and watch your screen go to black background with white text. Notice that the file names on the file tabs disappear. Hit the keystroke Alt+Shift+PrtScrn to return your display back to normal.

Thanks

I tried this out and sure enough the tabs become invisible. Very strange

I'll see if I can figure out why this is the case

There is no way to configure tab colors in Zeus itself.

The tabs control is just a stock standard Windows tab control so it is meant to take on the default Windows colors.

But, I did try using the Options, Editor Options menu and then in the General section turn on the Highlight active window tab option and this at least makes the active window text visible.

But the inactive windows are still hidden
