Hi, Anyone out there know how to determine the default/system set Window Background Colour (as set by the OS) - ie in Windows:
Right Click on Desktop->Properties->Appearance

Hi Tinman,

Mmmm!

I found:
RGB.l=GetSysColor_(#COLOR_WINDOW)

But the colour returned is always 8 digits - eg: 16777215 - so this isn't RRRGGGBBB, is it - any idea what?
