There are certain objects such as the tab control and the slider control that have a fixed gray color. I am trying to find an API function that will allow me to change the color of controls that do not have an associated property such as backcolor to do this. The Tab control has a backcolor but it does not effect the color of the tabs and the slider control does not have a backcolor property at all.


 
Is this any help?


Have a look at the fourth link down "WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC: Change the BackColor of a Slider"

They can change the color by going to the desktop properties and changing the appearance of the 3D elements.
