Status Bar - How to redisplay with professional look

[UncleRonin]

I have a status strip at the bottom of my main form which display various bits and pieces of information. The style of the strip is set to Professional so it has that gradient effect. When an error occurs, I change the backColor of the strip to red and white (it changes with a timer) to catch the users attention since the pc is used once every hour or so. The problem is that once the BackColor is changed, I cant get it back to the 'Professional' look. How do you do this? I've fiddled with Renderers and things like that but I have no idea what I'm doing with them.

Does anyone know how to reset the appearance of the strip to the way it appears originally?

Set the BackColor to Nothing.
