    The tabs in my page control have a TabSkin of TB_BTN (they're at the bottom and with this skin they still mimic buttons).

    But with a lot of skins, it looks plain ugly, because skinning fails:

    You can experiment with this project. As it is, it illustrates the flaw in the Calcium skin.

    Thank you for the demo.

    It' looks really ugly because section TB_BTN used as buttons in the form titlebar, this is a purpose of this section.

    I think, all buttons will be ugly there because the tsTabs style used (and can't be changed). So, margins of such buttons are 0.

    There was no problem with this setup in 12.22

    And a lot of skins handle this properly (like Notes skins, Cappuccino, Zest, SnowLeopard, etc.)

    This is how the test program looks in 12.22:

    Compare that to this:

    Something must have changed.

    Thank you for screenshots, I have found this difference in a code.

    New release with changes will be available very soon.

    Thanks.

    Maybe you have a better way to show tabs as buttons on the bottom of a page control?

    No, there is no special options for showing of buttons at the bottom.

    I understand that. I was just asking, what combination of TabSkin and other AC things you would use to make the tabs look as buttons.
