Here are a few facts, you need to know:

• for the colors in Common colors, you cannot use pure black (RGB #000000). If a color is set to 0 (pure black), it is ignored and the default is used. The default depends on your Windows theme or visual style. However, you can cheat this by using a color that is technically not black, but looks like black, for example, RGB #010101 (technically, a very dark gray, but you'll never be able to tell the difference between it and a real pure black).
• when using the Aero UI, some color settings will be ignored, because TabSRMM paints the Aero style you have set in Options → Message sessions → Containers.
• when using custom background colors, Tabs and switch bar buttons will be painted without using Windows visual styles. This is, because visual styles usually match the default Windows color theme, so using them with a custom TabSRMM color theme would look very strange or ugly (for example, you would see light gray tabs on a otherwise completely dark message window – not good). In that case, tabs are rendered using transparent PNG images on a color-filled background – basically the same method used by the Aero UI.
• under Customize → Fonts and colors → TabSRMM → Tabs, you can find the color settings used to render tabs when custom colors are in use. There are background and text colors available for various states – normal, active, hottracked and unread. The last one is used for background tabs with unread messages only. These colors are ignored when tabs are rendered with visual styles or fully transparent while the Aero UI is active.
