How can I change the style of just the tab content on a document window?

I have issues on certain systems where the tab text is clipped on the left and right sides and the context images run into the text of the active tab.

Hi Mike,

Do you have a sample that shows this happening that you could email over? If it's a bug, we'd like to fix it.

Its not project related, it appears to be video card related. On one computer it will look fine, on another computer it will cut off the text.

So in short, no... The only workaround I have is to pad the ends of the text.

What if you have those computers upgrade their video card drivers? Sometimes that helps with display issues in WPF.

So, is there a way to template the tabs? I would also like to add a control to the tab header.

Mike,

In that case, if you needed to change the style you'd probably need to make one like this in your resources: 
<Style x:Key="{x:Static dockingThemes:DockingCommonDictionary.TabbedMdiDocumentStyleKey}" TargetType="{x:Type docking:DockingWindow}">
  <Setter Property="Template">
    <Setter.Value>
      <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type docking:DockingWindow}">
        ...
      </ControlTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
  </Setter>
</Style>
That may let you change the template.
