The 'foreground' colour is used for the unselected tabs. The tab will use its own foreground colour when selected. Foreground supplies the default value for the 'lineColor' property.

troughColor

A colour. TroughColor defines together with 'background' the inactive area of the Rtl_tabset. A gradient will be used from 'background' to 'troughColor' when TkPath is present; otherwise 'troughColor' will stipple 'background'.
