This might sound stupid, but is there a way to change the tab bg item colors? I wanted to set the background to white, but I couldn’t find a way to change it without changing the entire component. However, I don’t want everything to be white; I just want the background of the tabs’ content items to be white.

Hi there!

Go to Theme \> Component Item \> Content Styles \> **Component Item Content Body Text Styles** and change the Background Color there.

You’re most welcome - just be aware that it will affect every component item in the course - so if you want to make just that one set of tabs have that colour you’ll need to pop the component into it’s own article and style the article settings instead.
