 Change the color of form's caption (background and font color)
Visual Basic uses the system palette color, if you want to change the color,
you change the color for all windows of all applications.

If there is a solution I would like to know it.

As far as I am aware, there is no easy way of doing this. They are
Windows-level chaoices defined by the user. In win95, this is done in
the Control Panel|Display|Appearance. However, if you change one, you
change all the windows....

If you really need to do this, you can search the MS Knowledge Base for
how to make a 'splash screen', which would have no caption. You can then
add your caption exactly as you want it by usig normal controls. There
may even be add-ons out there that do this for you... ? Anyone?

Rather useless, this answer, wasn't it?
Then again, maybe I'm wrong :)

I have the code somewhere on one of my zip disks that makes a gradient title
bar... start at what ever color you want and end up with the color of your
choice..... good if you want only your progs... title bar to stand out... I
am sure it could be modified for a single color... after all with API's you
can do just about anything.. email me and I will look fer it...
