I have been trying to change the color of the gray that surrounds my custom tabs, I have tried looking for the answer on YouTube: [this video] [LINK] This helped me understand the process of 9-patch files but I must be doing something wrong for this not to work. What I have tried doing so far: In my project I see in the "Package Explorer" I see Android 4.1, which is in ...android-sdk/platforms/android-16. I opened that with winrar, went into res/drawable-mdpi and just to see if anything would change I replaced "tab_selected.9.png" and "tab_selected_v4.9.png" with the image of "tab_pressed.9.png". I then tried to compile my project just to see the same gray for the background of my tab buttons. Th
