Default Button Back Color

Question

In design mode - how do I change the default back color of buttons?  I am using a white font and can not see the writing with the back color.  The backcolor is transparent so in runtime it is fine (back color goes to blue and white shows).

Hi ATL151,

There is a BackColor property for Buttons. You can change it from the properties window of Button.

Have a nice day,

That is what I am referring to.  When I set it to "Transparent" - it stays "Light Gray" in design mode so I cant read the white font.  Once I compile and run - the buttons do turn transparent but not in design mode.
