Hi Steve,You can be able to achieve the “Need to change the color of the MdiClient in DockingManager” requirement by getting the MdiClient in the Form and assigning the required color to the BackColor property as shown in below code snippet. 
 
C#:  




foreach (Control control in this.Controls)  
            {  
                MdiClient client = control as MdiClient;  
                if (client != null)  
                {  
                    client.BackColor = Color.Black;  
                    break;  
                }  
            }  Please check the above code and let us know your concerns. We are happy to assist you.Regards,Sudharsan
