Like thge order by highlight index. Nice one.
There prolly aren’t many things left on my wishlist for this product except the styling; I can’t make out the rules for love or money. I’ve no XAML experience at all so I’m completely lost.
What I /would/ like to see the the presentation rules being able to support a couple of other properties or, at the very least, foreground as well as background colours.

Stuart,
Adding a box for the foreground color to the Tab coloring rule dialog looks like a very good idea. I’ll see how it can be implemented.

Sergey, Most Cool!
[FX: Pushes his luck] If it were possible to implement it in such a way as to allow one rule to incluide an option for ‘normal’ ops and one for when the mouse hovers over then that would be GREAT.

To specify the mouse over color in the Tab coloring rule dialog, set the Custom conditions value to
<Condition Binding="{Binding Path=IsMouseOver, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="True"/>

Right. Got that.
I suppose that the downside of having to do that is that you need to create a complete clone of a tab colouring rule with just a different custom condition.
Just out of interest, if I want to define a set of colouring rules such that I set the background colour and just want the forground coloiur to change on hover, is the ordering of the rules important? Do I put the ‘non-hover’ rule first? Or the ‘hover’ one?
Obviously, this is all dependent on you being able to implement the forecolour rule option.

Background and foreground colors are independent. A ‘hover’ rule must be after the corresponding ‘non-hover’ rule.

Where do I enter my business license number? This might be n00b but I can’t seem to find it…
