Window background

Can I set the background color of a window? Or better yet can I set an image as the background?

Create a Panel that covers the window (its invisible). Then use SetPanelColor or SetPanelImage

Thanks Eikon :-)

Can I set the colors of input gadgets? Like the background color and font color of a textarea?

I'm guessing yes. I'll look thru the guide now.
