  For the Standard format only: tabs in a harness container always use the Standard format

  • Harness Container Tabs: specify a ten-part image, identifying the Left, Middle, Right, Left on Right, and Right on Left images. See About rendering ten part background image tabs.

  For Sub, Repeating, and Custom formats

  • specify a dual image, identifying the Fixed (Left) and Stretched (Right) images. The two images should be from the same RuleSet and version. See About rendering dual background image tabs.
    
    As a best practice, select Auto as the Width for the Stretched (Right) setting. The right image must be as wide as any text you enter into the tabs; the Auto setting allows the width to expand with the text entered.
    
    By default, the system uses the images you specify here for all four tab positions, automatically generating rotated images, depending upon the tab's presentation.
