## Tabs Indicators

Tabs are displayed in the Navi Pane. They indicate selectable views and may contain either icons or text. Active tabs can be selected with a horizontal movement: the tab to the left or right is highlighted and the look of the previously active tab changes to inactive. Create the tabs in the same way as any other theme component. However, extra caution needs to be taken to ensure that icons or text on top of tabs are displayed within the active or passive areas.
A tab is sliced into three pieces: left, middle, and right. The aspect ratio of both left and right pieces is fixed as the ending parts. The width of the middle is dynamic, and depends on the length of the whole tab. You can choose the colors for the active and passive tab icons and texts. Separate colors are used for items displayed on a highlighted active tab and on a passive tab(s). The figure below illustrates default tab indicators and customized tab indicators.
