Who called you a pain? Not me!

I don't really understand either! As you can see, all I did was reset the
colours of the FLAT_BOX forming the background to each tab. This is what was
done in one of the xforms demos (folder.c). It doesn't really make much
sense, logically.
I couldn't set the active folder text to bold. Either all were set to bold or
none. Asking on the list is probably the best idea.

Will do. Eventually though...
Actually, what I thought of doing was to use the Colours tab to modify the
xforms colours direct.
I already use
fl_mapcolor(FL_FREE_COL4, col.r, col.g, col.b);
to set the colour of that button in the Colours tab (coloured FL_FREE_COL4)
to whatever I choose. Why not also do something similar with FL_COL1 etc. The
LyX colour browser on the right of this tab would contain items such as
"Background", "LaTeX" but also "GUI background", "GUI Active folder". Good
idea, no?
