colors in terminal server

[Peter van der Veen]

Hi

I've an picturebox and fill this with a brush with a color say
color.skyblue

On a screen with 265 colors (like terminal servers clients have) this
is owfull. However, when i set the background of the picture box to
the same color in IDE the color is ok.

So there is a different setteing the color at design time or at run
time using a brush.

Is there anothe method to use?

I'm now using

Dim NormalBrush As Brush
NormalBrush = New Drawing2D.LinearGradientBrush(New Point(0,
0), New Point(0, Me.Height), Color.CornflowerBlue,
Color.CornflowerBlue)
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(NormalBrush, ClientRectangle)

I think you will more likely get an answer if you post to the Drawing group:
