> I believe the names that start with "tabline" -- either options or highlight groups -- will not be used at all if you're using GUI version of Vim, and thus will have no effect. The only way you can do something to the tabline under Gvim is through the 'guitab'-something options.



you can make vim use the terminal style tabline though, by doing 'set guioptions-=e', but the 'TabLine...' hi groups still have no effect, at least not on my computer. They were meant for console vim, not gvim, I believe.
