Pete: While you can't control the defaults in the browser, as long as you set the background on the appropriate items it works fine. An Applet is just a Panel, so if all that is on screen in your Applet and you set it to pink, it will show as pink. If you have added items to your Applet/Panel, you have to set the background of those items (though any part of the applet not obscured would still show as pink). -Rich Pete Blacker wrote: > > Hi > > I have been building applets for web pages, but I haven't yet found a > way of controlling the background color.
