Isn't this something handled by the qt-style (QStyle/KStyle) being used? For example, Plastik draws a highlight-colored box around textboxes, etc that have keyboard focus. I don't know of any reason why a qt-style can't do the same thing for tabs or other widgets. You can certainly make this policy (although I would strongly recommend you allow it to be a configuration option in the style) but it is still up to qt-style writers to implement it. IMO this is something you should never, ever write hacks to address. Overriding the user's choice of qt-style should only be done out of extreme necessity. -- Matthew This message will self destruct in five millennia. _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
