Setting colors to controls

Question

Two questions: 1. How do I change the color of the text to the "text" property in a groupbox control? It defaults blue and I want to change it to black. i don't see a property to do so in the designer. 2. Also I have a tab control and want to set the background of the active table to something other than white. Is there an easy way to do so? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
