xp / win98 background colors

Hi all

I am developing an application using .net 2003 for xp that needs to also run
on win 98 platforms. I am having dificulty when designing bitmaps, to get a
background color, that
a) is the correct beige type background color for xp
b) will automatically convert to the grey background when run on a 98 machine.

I expect there is a setting or function that automatically does this, but I
have been unable to find it

Many thanks

... sorry, I missed out that I was using Visual C++, and that it may also need
to be compilable with Version 6.0.

thanks again
Greg
