There is no setting to change. IMHO, background images behind MDIChild windows just makes the window look more cluttered, but it's my app...

What I think you're missing is the MdiParent form renders it child windows in a control, just like a Panel control is a container for holding and drawing other controls. That control is called "MdiClient" and it's automatically added to any form that is tagged as an Mdiparent.

Instead of setting the background of the MdiParent form, grab a reference to the MdiClient control by searching the Controls collection of the MdiParent form, then set the BackgroundImage property of the MdiClient instead.
