Have u succesfully changed the SSTAB backcolor ?

When you are just changing the backcolor of the SSTAB, it will change only in the background area of the SStab which is not a developer wants.
Assume that u have 3 buttons in the SStab and you changed the back color of that. It will not be changing the faces of the SStab buttons (main area) and It will remain as same and you can see the changes only in the edges of the SStab.

Can any body give me solution or sample code for this.

Thanks in advance.
