Was wondering...
How can I change the colors of an MDIForm title bar, toolbar and status bar.
It seems that it uses Windows,System colors and that there ain't no way I can change it...
thx
 
There isn't. If you want to change the colours of these controls you will have to draw them entirely by yourself, a very non-trivial task.
 
Well I have to work out a solution.
Is there a way to manipulate Windows themes ot something ?
I can't believe I can't change the titlebar and statusbar back color.
As soon as I work out a solution, I will let you know
 
I like it. It help stop people inflicting _really_ ugly toolbars and statusbars on the world :P

Seriously though, windows controls are meant to look standard. If you go to enough trouble, you can change them.
