[alankilborn]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description of the Issue

Currently no way for plugins to manipulate tab coloring, as is settable in N++'s View menu > Tab > Apply Color ...

Describe the solution you'd like.

Implementation of NPPM_GET_TABCOLORINDEX and NPPM_SET_TABCOLORINDEX as plugin commands.
