In addition to Superman's reply...

1/ There's a reason the colour has changed - the behaviour has changed. By overriding the colour back to white, you are now lying to your users. They will go "ahah, ah enabled box we can type it. Look, it's white!". And then they will get very frustrated. Only override this if you are REALLY sure you can cope with the potential confusion - and people issuing bug reports against you. Or worse - not giving you money.

2/ Don't just go for RGB(255,255,255). What if your customer is stuck in the 70s and likes a green on pink colour scheme? Who are you to say it's ugly? Please pick one of the system colours. That helps you - you can use GetSysColorBrush and be lazy!

Iain.
