How to change width/size/font of tabs in a tab group in AppDesigner?

Hello, is it possible to change the width of the tabs or font size in the tabGroup component of app designer? I couldnt find anything in the documentation.

How is this still not resolved? It makes app useless for small screen sizes.

I can't believe this problem is still here. Not solved!

There is no solution to this as long as you are using Matlab for your GUIs.

Likewise you can not change the background color of the tab group. The answers below this involve creating buttons to "cover up" the tabs - this is not a real solution; it is very hacky and expensive compared to "just expose those properties, we know you have them".

The fact there is no built in way to control their appearance within Matlab is shocking... As an alternative, I can only suggest using a toggle button group, combined with a bunch of layered panels that you control the visibility of. However, I have worked like this and it makes editting the layout a pain because you have to keep reordering the panels, and it's easy to lose access to one behind the others, especially with many 'tabs'.

Please Matlab, how hard is it to add font size to the properties? And have the tab ribbon itself expand to accomodate the larger text - or better yet a dimension on the ribbon height/width?
