CTabFolder CTabItem color? [message #440491]

Hello,

Is there any way to set the foreground color on a specific tab in a tab
folder? I need to set the color differently depending on the events
relative to each tab. This functionality is already in my Swing
application and I'm trying to move to SWT but I cannot since people are
used to this behavior and would not accept a new version without it.

CTabFolder.setForeground, setSelectionForeground only seems to work for
all tab items in a folder. Why can't it just be done via each CTabItem?
It seems like the *font* for a specific CTabItem can be set, but why not
the color?

Thanks,
David
