How to set colour behind form |

Godfrey Ultimatesoft | Hi All
Sorry for all the questions. I hope this question has not already been asked. How do you set the colour or add an image for the backround behind the form. My form is set to the Center. Thanks Godfrey |

You have 2 options : 1. Either get the main form to stretch to fill the background surface and set the form properties. 2. use the built-in surface object. easiest to access is thru application object. for example Application.Surface.Background.Fill.Color := clSpringGreen; The TBackground object is the same for surface ( Background part ) as it is to the form so you can play with the form properties and then copy those values to code fort surface ones . Raul NB! I don't recommend this specific colour though |

That is how it was in version 1, but the new way allows you to set it in the "theme" much more easily, which actually makes more sense. If you design a fancy theme for all of your applications, with your own look and feel for all of them, having the surface colour set in the theme is a better way than having to do it in each project. Likewise if you switch theme, they all change without further ado. |
