Question

When including a 3D plot inside a TabView, in my computer, the entire tab is grayed as if it was a giant button, leaving the Graphics with a white background:

To avoid the contrast between the gray and the white, I would prefer that the tab also had a white color.

Tried BaseStyle -> {Background -> White} but with no success (only the borders get restyled).

How can I change the Background color of the tab?

Answer 1

The default background is not white but transparent for graphics, so there’s no harsh contrast. Background -> White makes the background white and leaves the borders, quite the opposite of what you said. BaseStyle doesn’t seem to do anything.

This is what I get on Windows XP:

EDIT: An alternative is a custom TabView-implementation along the following lines:

objects = Table[Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 10}], {f, {Sin, Cos, Exp}}];

Column[
 {SetterBar[Dynamic[x], Thread[objects -> Range@Length[objects]]], 
  Dynamic[x]}
 ]

This is unfinished, but the basics work, and it shows you how to do it yourself.
