Question

but in a nother device i see that the button in like win XP style - and

when i try to change the color it dosent Changed.

what can be the Reason ??

thank's in advance

Answer 1

The reason is because the device has the XP skin component included (SYSGEN_XPSKIN) in the OS which overrides the standard button paint behavior. If you want to paint the button, you need to either create a different skin for the device or get a new OS image that doesn't include the skin.
