Yes, that is precisely what I am saying!  The background colour for the
wxStaticBoxSizer is whatever the system setting for the Windows
Background is irrespective of the colour set for the parent panel.

For the record, I tried it under Gnome as well (I normally use KDE) and
it made no difference (didn't think it would) just in case it was a
windows manager issue.  However, result was exactly the same.

I can work around it by doing a SetBackgroundColour on the
wxStaticBoxSizer's wxStaticBox from the parent background colour as per
code in my original message - its just a nuisance though!

Best regards,
Kit
