Customize the Tabbed Panels widget

Although the Property inspector enables you to make simple edits to a Tabbed Panels widget, it does not support customized styling tasks. You
can alter the CSS rules for the Tabbed Panels widget and create a widget that is styled to your liking.

For a quick reference on changing the colors of the Tabbed Panels widget, see David Powers’s

Quick guide to styling Spry tabbed panels,

accordions, and collapsible panels

.

All CSS rules in the topics below refer to the default rules located in the SpryTabbedPanels.css file. Dreamweaver saves the
SpryTabbedPanels.css file in the SpryAssets folder of your site whenever you create a Spry Tabbed Panels widget. This file also contains useful
commented information about various styles that apply to the widget.

Although you can easily edit rules for the Tabbed Panels widget directly in the accompanying CSS file, you can also use the CSS Styles panel
to edit the widget’s CSS. The CSS Styles panel is helpful for locating the CSS classes assigned to different parts of the widget, especially if
you use the panel’s Current mode.

You can style the text of a Tabbed Panels widget by setting properties for the entire Tabbed Panels widget container, or by setting properties for
