Hi,

I am using an MDI and child forms. When you select the property of isMdiContainer=TRUE, it sets the background to the SystemColor.AppWorkspace=Dark Grey. I cna not fuigure out the code to change this, or find any help. So please help oh smart ones.
 
I know there has to be proper way to do this, but I can not figure it out.

However, I found a way to cheat. Make a jpg of a solid color and set the background image to that file. Since the image will tile, the picture can be very small and will self correct if the screen resizes.

The main problem with this is that is seems to take up more resources to than a regular backcolor.
