Answer 1

As far as I know, there isn't a way of tweaking the MessageBox dialog, to do as you say, you need to create a new form and apply custom attributes, you can just create a label with text and an 'OK' button:

You can even make your own functions to set the font's color, weight, size ...

Answer 2

Hi,

 You can create a custom class by inheriting MessageBox class and have your custom design for it and call your customMessageBox whenever needed.

I think that SystemColors.Control matches the colour of the dialog box.

Programmatically you can try this:

myLabel.BackColor = myLabel.Parent.BackColor;

Answer 4

That works.  Thanks!

I tried this.BackColor ... works too.  Don't know if there is any risk in this approach.
