windows: ugly grey background/border in some widgets

[delt]

I'm not sure what causes this, maybe it has to do with the "manifest" thing? How do i remove this ugly grey border/background that randomly appears on certain container widgets?

Oh the status bar isn't a real wxStatusBar, it's just a static line with some widgets under it at the bottom of the window.

That "ugly grey border/background" is the colour of the wxFrame, which I'm sure does not appear randomly, but consistently. Doesn't it?
If you don't want that, add a wxPanel as the first (and only) child of the wxFrame and add everything else as children of that panel.

Hi

Just to add that it is the default background color of a window under Windows (this is not a wxWidgets related thing).

If you don't want that, add a wxPanel as the first (and only) child of the wxFrame and add everything else as children of that panel.

And you can also change the background color to wxSystemSettings::GetColour(wxSYS_COLOUR_BTNFACE)
