In an attempt to get the same look irregardless of whether XP Theme is active or not, I use color brush with a transparent dialog. I'm very happy with the results except when it involves folder.

How to apply the brush to the grey area shown above?

TIA

Hua,

We can't change do that unless we totally replace the WM_PAINT msg behavior, which it means a lot of work.

You could modify FW Class TFolder to not use SysTabControl32 and use the 16 bits folder own defined control, where you have full control, but I would not recommend this.

Ok. Maybe I'll try a different approach in displaying the data then.
