backgroundColor and borderColor on creatTab doesn't work

Why doesn't backgroundColor and borderColor work?

var tab = Titanium.UI.createTab({
            window: window,
            backgroundImage: 'none',

            title: label,
            backgroundColor: '#444',
            borderColor: '#ff0000',
            borderWidth: 3,
            touchEnabled: false,
            badge: '4',
            icon: _icon != null ? config.iconFolder + _icon : null


        });

    • Is it still not possible to set the backgroundcolor of a tab?

    • Apparently not. I've tried:

      backgroundImage: '/images/sale-tab.png',
backgroundDisabledImage: '/images/sale-tab.png',
backgroundFocusedImage: '/images/sale-tab.png',
backgroundImage: '/images/sale-tab.png',
backgroundGradient: null,
backgroundColor: Styles.colors.royal_blue,
backgroundDisabledColor: Styles.colors.royal_blue,
backgroundFocusedColor: Styles.colors.royal_blue,
backgroundSelectedColor: Styles.colors.royal_blue,

      And none of them have any effect whatsoever. Nada. And I can't even look at the "ticker" indicated here it just says "Not a public project".
