Welcome to the forums mvk25 A few things to try: 1 - Embedded UDF avi control: AVI Control gets background brush from statusbar (not themed but not as visible as your gui background colour) 2 - Embedded UDF avi control: Turn off themes for the statusbar - (control gets background brush from unthemed statusbar) 3 - Embedded native avi control: Turn off themes for the statusbar and set statusbar colour same as gui (control gets background brush from parent gui) 4 - Embedded native/UDF avi control: Get statusbar theme/system colour* and return brush in _WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message handler (udf avi control created with gui as parent, then made parent of statusbar, so we get a WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message) ;*(issues with getting colour from themed statusbar and themes that have a background gradient in the statusbar - the default xp theme has a gradient themed statusbar) 5 - Embedded native/UDF avi control: write the themed background to a memdc, write to a bitmap and create a brush from it to return in _WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message handler (requires code to monitor theme change and create a new brush) #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GuiAVI.au3> #include <GuiStatusBar.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> _example1() _example2() _example3() Exit Func _example1() Local $WindowMain = GUICreate("Example", 351, 176, -1, -1) GUISetBkColor(0xDDDDDD, $WindowMain) Local $Statusbar = _GUICtrlStatusBar_Create($WindowMain) Local $Statusbar_PartsWidth[2] = [324, -1] _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetParts($Statusbar, $Statusbar_PartsWidth) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($Statusbar, "", 0) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetText($Statusbar, "", 1) _GUICtrlStatusBar_SetMinHeight($Statusbar, 20) Local $hIcon = __GUICtrlStatusBar_SetIcon($Statusbar, 1, 0, 'ico.ico') ;the original udf destroys the icon handle Local $Icon = GUICtrlCreateIcon('ico.ico', -1, 300, 130, 16, 16) ;Icon on GUI -
