Hey, Einar,

I'm full on pizza and root beer (just threw a victory party for youth hockey league...damn, those kids can eat), so take this post as a total shot in the dark...

When you override the backcolor, try this...

public override Color BackColor
{
	get { return base.BackColor; }
	set { base.BackColor = value;  }
}

Let me know if that works (if not, I'll switch to diet pepsi!) ;)
