Changing the background color in MDI?

[Troy]

Any way to change the background color of a parent MDI form?

I set the background color property but in MDI it seems to ignor it. As a non MDI form it works fine.

I really hate the dark grey background and want to change it to something lighter.

I have a program call Windowblinds that can accomplish this for me with skinning and love that but don't think all of my customers will have it.

Try this http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=14201&highlight=mdiclient but instead of setting the MdiClient BackgroundImage you set the BackColor property.
