I've just had a look at the Visual .Net environment and you can specify
the backcolor of a window (and the background image)
It would be possible to allow the -background option to take a
Win32::GUI::Brush as a value. This would allow bitmaps as patterns for the
background; but it would start to be very confusing for controls, where
-background also specifies the text background colour. I don't propose to
do this - if you really want it use a class.
Sorry - was my poor explanation. I meant that there is an additional option
to set the background image:)
I'll have a look at implementing this.
BTW I've got the fix for class backgrounds not working in perl's 5.8 and
higher.
If you want me to test anything let me know.
Cheers,
jez.
