**C1DockingTab** provides several built-in styles such as **Classic**, **Default**, **Office2003**, **Office2007**, **Office2010,** **Rounded**, **Sloping** that can be easily applied using the [TabStyle](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) property. You could also choose what type of look you would like for your tab pages. For example, you may want the tab pages to display and image, text, or a combination of both. You can do this by setting the [TabLook](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/) property to **Default**, **Text**, **Image** or **TextandImage**.

You could also customize your tab's style using **C1DockingTab**'s general appearance properties such as the **C1DockingTab.BackgroundImage**, **C1DockingTab.BackgroundImageLayout**, [TabAreaBackColor](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/), [TabBackColor](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/), [TabBackColorSelected](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/), and [TabForeColorSelected](/componentone/docs/win/online-menus-toolbar/).

The following figure illustrates a few of **C1DockingTab**'s general appearance properties:
