Well done, thanks Mike! I want to create a "brushed aluminium" surface. Do you have an idea, how to do that? I tried with nested Randoms, but the visual effects was all other than "naturally".

Your thanks are appreciated. Unfortunately the form color is created by drawing a series of horizontal lines that gradually change color. You probably require 'skinning' and I have not consider this. Incidently, if you use VB.net you can place a 'stretched' image on the form and have any background.
