No, that doesn't (quite) work.

notebook.SetBackgroundColour() sets the border and the clear area behind the
tabs, but *not* the colour of the tabs themselves. Which looks very ugly.
notebook.SetForegroundColour() seems to do nothing. There is no way I can
find to change the tab text colour (or font, or anything else, for that
matter...)

This is on Windows 2000, wxPython 2.3.1, Python 2.1.

another idea:
use EVT_PAINT in your parent.
in OnPaint you can call GetClientRect and GetRect -
the difference of the two rectangles migth be the Area which you want to
fill.

The wxNotebook class doesn't support doing this. I think on Windows it
would mean using the control in owner drawn mode, which would make it much
more complicated.
