alpha stage commit

- changed the tab control used to a different third party tool

hopefully this will speed up both changing themes and loading/switching
between tabs. not everything is completely done (in regards to
themes/colors/graphics), this is just for proof of concept.
updated main dir files
change to solid backgrounds

changed the 'blue' theme to have solid colors for the groupboxes and
panels
final cleanup for new tab control

- changed some control backgrounds from the blue to white
- removed all references of the old tab control
- slightly tweaked 'blue' theme colors
- finished up control alignments
