My form has the usual light grey color as the default windows color scheme. If I change the scheme under the Windows 9x Display Properties "Appearance tab," to Brick, Desert, Slate, etc., then my form color is blotchy. As you know, everyone doesn't run the default light-gray Windows color scheme. Can someone help me correct this problem?
It may be problem with the display adaptor than your VB program. Not just your program, but every other program that uses standard colors would be looking "blotchy" on your monitor, with those colors selected for windows std. color scheme.
Soln is provide a seperate "Color & Font selection" section for your program. User could use that and change the settings for your program alone.
On Form load you set those colors for bkground/foregnd/label clr/btnclr (and the list goes on..) Even then it will be very difficult to catch the "windows borders", "selection highlight colors" etc.
So, if a particular color looks blotchy, probably you should not select that for standard windows color scheme!. 'Preview' optn is meant for that :-)
