Workarounds? Why can't "the bug" be fixed?
* Then lets talk about native widgets limitations. A simple thing like changing the background color of a button. Not possible under Windows (without a custom button component) but is under GTK.
TSpeedButton should be able to do this, since it's custom drawn ?
The same I believe was true (but opposite way around in GTK) with Form background color.
This is an unfortenate one indeed. I'd hardly call it a show stopper though; even can be worked around on LCL level by perhaps implementing some 'OnPaint' or a panel or graphic control on top that draws the requested color. If you want background pictures, which is not a very big step from just a color, you need something like that always.
