IE7 Tabs + Windowblinds

It seems that IE7's tabs are not skinned by windowblinds, microsoft has chose to use the defined window text color but then skin the tabs on their own. arggh.

This really becomes a problem  with darker themes such as blackcomb where the text color for the tab is white.

Anyone know of a workaround? With firefox atleast you can edit a userchome.css to modify the tab text color.

Thanks
