Changing the Background colour of a Button

Is there a way of changing the background colour of a TButton, or is it
just one of those window colors that you cannot change within an
applications. I am also having problems changing the Text color of a
Button. The Font Style, size etc ar all fine, as is the text color of
BitBtn.

Thankyou

Carwyn

I don't think it's possible (in any easy manner).

It isn't completely straightforward. There is a  bit button already
designed that will change colour: check out the acgbtn.zip  by
Andy Ghinaudo on the Delphi Super Page.

The button-color  is globally defined by Windows. You can change it in
your Windows configuration (for all running applications and Windows
itself)
Look at http://www.nedernet.nl/~braincom/index.html
for a freeware 16 bits solution for your problem.
