C# Changing Color/Font for User Controls based on Windows/Appearance

Hi,

I'm using the Webbrowser control in UI to display certain HTML formatted text.
While displaying i have used the fixed font/color in HTML tag text.
But wanted to display the text format comply with Windows System wide settings (Display properties/Appearance/ Windows & Buttons etc).

Any class/API thru which i can get the System Font/Color/Windows & Buttons details. With these details i can set my control properties.

Thanks In advance.

The KnownColor enum should work too.
For instance:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.ActiveBorder);
  2.
