I noticed in the demo Flatnotebook blanks
the dropdown arrow out with black when the X button is removed. To
reproduce (Python 2.4, WxPython 2.8.4, Win XP),
Open Flatnotebook in the Demo
Make a couple tabs (Ctrl-N)
Click Edit/Use Dropdown Button…
Click Edit/Hide X Button
Click Tab Appearance/Tab Style/Use Fancy Style
Though it still works, The arrow area turns into a black box.
I like Flatnotebook and the new dropdown arrow with Fancy Tabs. Is
there a way around this. It also happens with other tab styles.

Well, tracking down the cause of the bug, fixing it (and sending a patch) would certainly be one way to work around it. It's all Python code so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Well, tracking down the cause of the bug, fixing it (and sending a
patch) would certainly be one way to work around it. It's all
Python code so it shouldn't be too difficult.
The following change on line 1462 of flatnotebook.py fixes this bug:
please try to change this:
dc.DrawBitmap(self._xBgBmp, posx, 6)
Into this:
dc.DrawBitmap(self._rightBgBmp, posx, 6)
And hopefully it should be fixed... could you please let me know if it works?
Thanks also for providing such good components for WxPython.
If I may I will suggest that a future version allow one to select a tab
from the drop down menu with a single click action. That is, the down
click opens the menu allowing the user to move the cursor over the
selection and open it with the up click.
