Stacked widget tabs - change the appearance without changing other colors in the map or unrelated widgets?
I am testing out stacked widgets (to create tabs) in a grid column. I would like to change the tab appearance (default, selected, hover) but don't see that I can make any or even one of those changes without also changing the map background color. Is there a way to do this or is there a better way to stack widgets to make tabs (and modify settings)? I'm in Developer 1.16.
The grid rests within the second sidebar.
I can change the font color via the primary theme color.
If I change the third color that updates the default tab background color but it also changes the map background color, as well as the color of the map widgets (zoom, home, etc).
Maybe a CSS file somewhere can be edited? Should I try a completely different path?
Accepted Solutions
To the best of my knowledge there isn't a way to change those manually (I've tried also, but I could be wrong). There's almost certainly a way to do it in the coding, and you could use the browser inspector to help you locate where that might be (do that once you've deployed an application - the code will then be on your own machine).
A workaround is to place a Section widget inside a column widget , and then use the view navigator widget as your "stacked tabs." That will give you a lot more control over the look of the tabs. Here's an example from an app of mine. I have a column that contains a filter, then a view navigator, then a section with two views: "Comparable Sales Table" and "Print".

Sure thing!
This one can occasionally get dicey because having the editor always exposed can lead to problems, so actually the side bar starts collapsed, but that was a change we made after having a few accidental deletions, so I know it works with it set to open by default.
Sorry, here are some images of the app I mentioned I built using the sections and views. I essentially followed the Tab template in ExB.
