I am utterly confused to how to change the background-color of the body of a tab, specifically on Android. I want to leave the appearance of the tabs untouched, however I simply want to change the background-color of the entire body of each tab.

Can't really believe I'm asking this as it's so simple, but I am confused to what element I need to reference and I can't find any docs.

Many thanks

Hey Charlie-

Have you checked-out the Kendo UI Mobile ThemeBuilder? 

http://demos.kendoui.com/themebuilder/mobile.html

It's an useful tool for customizing Kendo UI Mobile styles OR (in your case) learning the CSS markup necessary to customize specific elements (for one or all target mobile platforms).

Give that a try. Hope it helps.
