I can't see how to change the color of the form's caption bar in the
interface(s). I don't use forms with captions, but for Dialogs I'd like
to change it.

Thanks Uli

You might want to wait until the next build for this, due to the changes to
the form/dialog interfaces.

The answer, though, is:

The caption bar is normally transparent and takes on whatever color the
background of the form is set to.  But, you can just change the
TFormCaptionBar interface in order to permanently change the color.  You may
also want to add a little more default padding.

No problem.

I don't see that here. There is no blue background defined anywhere, but
the caption is always blue.

I did that, but no effect.

Sorry, if I miss something basic here, but I'd like to understand where
these colors are defined.

The blue background is defined in the base TForm interface.

OK, I didn't see it because I set the TForm's padding to 0. Thus the
blus background wasn't visible.

Thanks.
