objects in grey. Is there any way to change the colour?

Thanks

I have some standard toolbars on some of my screens and they are standard grey. Problem is the rest of our app is light blue, and they look out of place. Is there a way of changing the colour of the toolbars? Same for statusbar too, can I change that? Thanks

One of my users has asked that a form change it's colour if a particular yes/no box is ticked - possibly made a bit more tricky because the form is tabular..? Thanks, Lap

I'm using a tabControl on one of the forms of my MS Access database. The grey bar looks pretty bad on my form. Is there any way to change the colour of the tabs or the tab background for the tabControl in MS Access? I'd even resort to an API call if necessary. Thanks! P.s. Anyone else having problems posting to the Microsoft news server?

Hi, Is it possible to change the forecolor of a disabled text control. I have a RichText Box that I don't want the user to edit but the Grey on Grey default is hard to read. Is there a way of overriding this with a custom colour? I had a quick foray into the forms Paint event handler but no joy. Thanks Bob

Hi How do I change the background colour of an input box in a form as soon as the value is changed? Also the background should revert back to it's original colour if the user decides that they do not want to make any changes and hence retype back the orginial value. I do not want the background to change after the user has moved to the next form field but as soon as the value has been changed.

I'm using krypton toolkit which has allowed me to make a cool looking form. However, when I set my textbox to disabled it is 'greyed' out. The grey colour isn't in keeping with the office 2007 style look of my form. How can i change the colour that control assumed when it's disabled? Thanks! Gary-
