You could put the picture of the metal into the tab control, select the picture and press Ctrl-Shift-J to put it in the background and then add your controls over it.  It will make the pages in the tab look like the metal, but I am not sure if you can actually change the tabs themselves to look like metal.

See the pic attached.

ye ma8, figured out about that one, its not very cool tho eh!! 😕 it looks pretty rubbish if im being honest. och well, maybe one for future versions, where you can skin yourtabs to emulate a plethora of hardware caseing. that would be cool actually

You could make that look a little better if you used a picture for the tab controls. Right-click the tab and select Advanced->Tab Layout->Import Image from Clipboard. (I assume that's already the Classic Tab Control in Kenny K's image.)
