Hi,

I'm using VS2008 and VB to develop an application for XP, I would like to know if there's a way to change the color of a standard button (FlatStyle=Standard and BackColor=Transparent), I mean, the buttons have a silver style color as default, If I change the BackColor to another color it just doesn't look right, borders are white and center has a flat style.

Is there any way to change the BackColor in a smooth, clear and uniform way ?

Thanks in advance.

There's no good fix for this, you can't override the button renderer that's used.  You can blast over whatever the base class painted in your own Paint event but that's a lot of work to get right.  You get no help from the renderer used by the Standard style, ButtonStandardAdapter, it is internal.  Poke around with Reflector to see what you'd need to do.
