Good suggestions. Thanks. Turns out that after another Clean & Build, html color markups are working again in the default platform tabs.

I had to make an adjustment to it to suppress its titling of the tabs, but other than that it fits in really well into the NetBeans platform; using Geertjan's Blog for guidance. Using TopComponent.setDisplayName() works quite well, and yes it does support the font color markup. I can now color the titles that I wanted. To answer Neil's question, I did try various colors using the hex codes. It didn't work. I'm not sure this is a common use case that would warrant filing a bug. There would be value for others in finding the missing referenced file for the Blog so that others can also follow this path to doing something different. The file missing from the Blog appeared to be one java file that did what JGoodies did in 20+. The business case for me is that I can have multiple documents opened by the user at the same time. I also have various singleton windows that will be listening on the global lookup for certain objects that may be selected within the documents. Each singleton will be listening for different objects within the selected document. Since the singleton windows can make changes to the opened documents, I wanted it very clear visually which document is being viewed/modified in the singleton.
