Form colors

[EliCat]

Im busy working on an application which will include some graphics on the forms.

To make sure these graphics are always shown in the best light I want to fix the form colors to make sure theyre always in a certain color scheme, independant of the system colors of the pc on which the application runs.

I know that I can change the BackColor and the ForeColor, but those dont include items such as scroll bars, arrows in listboxes, menu items etc.

Is there any way to set the colors for those items/objects as well?



Thanks

No, Im afraid youre out of luck on this one. Youre only option would be to subclass and draw the items yourself.

Shoot.


Im constantly having trouble finding stuff in the .NET help and was hoping Id missed something again.

I already found out how to make sure MDI-forms have the proper background (since setting it in the form properties doesnt help) and was thinking there might be a way around to the other color settings as well, but there isnt I see.


Guess Ill give my bosses the "good" news tomorrow.


Thanks for taking away any doubts I had.
