Hi all,

I am new to symbian and got with this problem. I need to change the background colour of the control pane.(ie the bckgrnd color of "Options" and "Exit" options. Is is possible to do this? I tried using a bitmap for the "cba" resource but couldnt.

thanks in advance

Nope, not without a program.
Get WildSkinz from http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/
But beware, its a bit buggy still.

JyriK,

thank you for the prompt reply. actually i am writing an app and i want to chane the bckground using that app. when i launch my new app, i need to get the new backgnd color for the control menu. i also want to change the bacground color of the title pane. these are my 2 requirements.
Seeing the "wildskinz" it looks like it is possible to do this. I am using Series 60 6.1 SDK for my development. Could you give me some reference on how to go about this problem.

cheers
Naveen
