Hi,
Following the examples here I am trying to get the tabs working. It functions ok when I use the examples and include them in my project but the color attribute seems to be ignored.
this:
<Nav classicTabs color="indigo">
produces working nav with no color styling
this:
<Nav classicTabs className="indigo">
produces an indigo background to the nav element but without the expected styling of the hovver and selected (Indicating that the css is available)
Any indications as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Les

<Nav classicTabs> component. As the classicTabs props is a new addition to MDB React, what I would suggest first is making sure that the package is up-to-date. Account indicator seems to be saying, though, that you are using the newest version 4.2. Is it correct?
The error message mentioned in the comment tells a different story, suggesting that MDB React <Nav> component is being interpreted as a native DOM <nav>, therefore not recognizing the `classicTabs` prop. Is there a reason in your code for it to think that (import issue, letter casing perhaps)?
Finally, even though it might seem like a hurdle, I think the easiest way to see what got goofed is experiencing how it works "live", by downloading our package as-is, installing the dependencies (by running yarn) and then a server (yarn start). With an access to our App you can easily inspect how it is done in the code (docs/pages/TabsPage.js) and in the browser (at http://localhost:8080/components/tabs); whether the examples used in our documentation work correctly at your end, for reference, comparison and adjustment.
With Best Regards,
Kuba

One other thing I have noticed, the console shows the following error: "Warning: React does not recognize the `classicTabs` prop on a DOM element. "
