I'm 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 they're 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 don't 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, I'm afraid you're out of luck on this one. You're only option would be to subclass and draw the items yourself.
 
Shoot. :(


I'm constantly having trouble finding stuff in the .NET help and was hoping I'd missed something again.

I already found out how to make sure MDI-forms have the proper background (since setting it in the form properties doesn't help) and was thinking there might be a way around to the other color settings as well, but there isn't I see.


Guess I'll give my bosses the "good" news tomorrow. ;)


Thanks for taking away any doubts I had.
