Try experimenting with the application's base color attribute, e.g.

	app.baseColor = FXColor::PapayaWhip

Note that in order for this setting to apply to the entire  
application, you need to make this setting when the application  
object is first instantiated, and before you've created any other  
widgets, e.g.

	app = FXApp.new
	app.baseColor = FXColor::DeepSkyBlue1
	main = FXMainWindow.new(app, ...)

Not that I know of... You might ask around on the FOX GUI list about  
this. I know that it's been asked there before.
