          //change the apperance like size,name,style.
          Font f;
          //For background color
          Brush backBrush;
          //For forground color
          Brush foreBrush;
          //This construct will hell you to decide
          //which tab page have current focus
          //to change the style.
          if(e.Index == this.tabControl1.SelectedIndex)

          //This line of code will help you to
          //change the apperance like size,name,style.
          f = new Font(e.Font, FontStyle.Bold | FontStyle.Bold);
          f = new Font(e.Font,FontStyle.Bold);
          backBrush = new System.Drawing.SolidBrush(Color.DarkGray);
