Need to change color of the tabview headers from blue to any color

I tried the sample project that was shared on this but that only works in “Desktop” mode. If I change the project to “Arduino” / ESP32+TFT\_eSPI everything stays blue. Looks like this mode is completely ignored under these conditions?

I’m using the latest Squareline Studio with LVGL 9.1 on Mac Sequoia if that matters but as I said this seems to be related on project settings rather than on anything else.

Can anybody try to replicate?

Thanks!

It seems this problem can be reproduced in any project with LVGL-9.1. I tried the LVGL-9.1 example too from LVGL document page and it’s even seen on the LVGL 9.1 (and even 9.2) page that the active tab-button’s border-side setting has no effect, while it has in LVGL-8.3.11 document-page.  
This problem was reported at LVGL forum, there’s no reply yet, but a bit more complex code solution: [Style a tabview widget in V9.0.0 - How-to - LVGL Forum](https://forum.lvgl.io/t/style-a-tabview-widget-in-v9-0-0/14747)  
We’ll see if we can implement this workaround asap in SquareLine Studio to make it work, thanks for the feedback.
