How do I change color of a the tab control 2

[SeeWard]

Hello All,
This should be a fairly easy thing to do I would suppose. I am trying to change the background color of the tab control on a form. I have the property set so that the back style is transparent, but yet the background will not fill in with the color selected. It still behaves as though the back style is set to normal...Any suggestions?
Thank you...

You know, it's rather odd, I've changed the backstyle to 'transparent' BUT it acts as though it's set to 'normal'. I understand about not being able to change the tab colors...that's fine...I'd like to change the backgound color of the tabcontrol itself. When I use the 'fill back color' feature, it changes the background of the detail section rather than changing the tab control...and I am certain to select the tab contol properties ...It's worked in the past, I'm uncertain of what I'm doing wrong. The tab control itself remains white and will not show the grid even when the backstyle is set to transparent...
