VS2005 Status Bar Small Issue

[ss7thirty]

I am having trouble changing the back color of labels and individual aspects of things on the status bar. Is this possible I tried through code and through properties in design view. If anyone knows of a way to fix this it would be great.

Either i do not understand your question or you were on wrong track all the time ...
namely, to change backColor of say "ToolStripStatusLabel1" all you need is to refer to its backColor either through code or through designer from properties window (select certain label and just change its backColor).
I am using VS.NET 2005 pro and it is that easy ... while i don;t know which version you have i am not absolutely postitive about my suggestion.

Regards

I do not understand why this is not working I am running the same version right now but it will not allow me to change the backcolor of any of the ToolStripStatusLabels I do not know why this is but I have tried through code and through properties
