How to change Chartbook tab color (not file tab color)

I have multiple chartbooks on my trading screen. All the chartbook tabs are the same color. I cant change them. For example I have a "commodities" chartbook and inside it I have CL,GC..etc.. Each of the commodities has it own individual tab color. No problem. But I also have an "Index" chartbook containing NQ, YM, ES...

I would like the "Commodity" chartbook tab to be a different color than the "Index" tab color.

I searched everywhere and cannot find out how to fo this if it even can be done.

I expect that this is supposed to address this issue:

Graphics Settings: Setting Colors for Chart and Chartbook Tabs for the Main Window

...but these properties are not working for me.

I cannot get any chartbook tabs to change color.

Hopefully SC Support can weigh in.

Those color settings are fully implemented in current versions of Sierra Chart and have been for some time now.

However, it is not possible to use a unique color for each individual Chartbook tab. The colors apply to all of the tabs and also depend upon whether a tab is selected or not.

Is there a way to change them via ACSIL or anything else?

I trade FX and I have almost 40 chartbooks open. so I do not see all these chartbooks at the same time.
If you can change the color of the chartbook tab based on P/L It would be a very nice feature to make use of.
Thanks.

or can you color the chartbook tab based on open p/l such as when an open position is a profitable color the chartbook tab green and when it is at loss color it red?
I believe when following a lot of pairs (I follow above 30 FX pairs) this feature will add value to your product and make my day easy.
Don't you think so?
Otherwise, if you allow ACSIL to control chartbook tab color we can develop our own solution.
Thanks.
