I see this control uses Label and PictureBox to show "Title" and Image. The Title and Image show as transparent on Gradient background.



I also need to put label and Picture box on this control, but if they take the "BackColor" of the form and not the Gradient color of the control. How can I do it like the way Title and image shows?



Thanks!

Good morning Trent; Thanks for detailed answer.



I understood your points very clearly, but due to the nature of my usage (I need to put lots of stuff on the form), it makes it hard to align everything via code rather using the designer. Here is a layout for my form using gradient background to start putting controls on them.





The info on 255 solved my problem if I go with ThemedPanel.



Trent, if I don't have a way to host an image, is there a way to upload an image to the forum to show on the screen? I tried the "Insert Image", but it asks for URL, so I just attached it for you to look at my direction.



Thanks again!

That's an interesting data. Can this be considered more like an 'alpha' channel? By combining the base into gradient, you can create new colors....

That is what it is....the alpha.

That was its purpose.  It allows the themed colors to be toned down/up based on your needs if you use the ColorsONly ThemeSupport option.

Use Internet Explorer to get a more detailed set of options to upload the image.  FireFox shows a different screen for some reason.

It works in IE. Thanks Trent!
