I believe it's impossible without fixing the code.  visible_tabs is
global, but it's not defined in any header file and it not used in any
configuration dialogs.  Moreover, that variable is read-only.  It's
never assigned a value except during initialization.

The only work around is to disable color: "mc -b"
