 Gui,1: Color,  blue
  Gui,1: Add, Tab2,Left   x0 y0 w20 h200 Buttons vTabvar, asss|ddddx|fddd
 
  Gui,1: Show,  NoActivate w100 h100 ,

Tab controls with custom colours are "owner-drawn" - i.e. drawn by AutoHotkey rather than Windows. On my system, at least, the text is drawn offset from where it should be drawn. This applies with or without Left and Buttons, but with Left it puts the text off the tab.

I get these results on Vista and XP with any theme active.

Edit: Since the text is normally aligned to one side on my system, the following comment seems to indicate that some versions of Windows render differently:
Code:
         // The text is centered horizontally and vertically because that seems to be how the
         // control acts without the TCS_OWNERDRAWFIXED style.
I'm not sure whether the the positioning of the text with the Left option is a bug in AutoHotkey or an irregularity in the API used to draw text.

thanks for the reply. Well it seems that there is no easy fix. Is there a way to have vertical text in ahk using any other method. I am looking for true vertical not stacked horizontal.
