I wish I could!
Assuming you are using the standard WinXP color scheme - the backcolor of the page class returns RGB(236,233,216) regardless of whether or not themes are turned on. This is actually the beige color that you get without themes, it is not the much paler color that pages get shown in when themes are turned on.
The only solution I have found so far is to disable themes for the pageframe and put up with having 'old style' pages without the XP features.
