Hi,
1) Could you please provide more details about "Inherit from wizard"?
2) BackColor Reset: I am afraid, I am unable to reproduce the "color reset" issue. I have tested this with a sample and it seems to be working fine. Once I change the default color to say, SystemColors.Control, it remains in the SystemColors.Control color in the property window. I have attached my
sample. Please refer to it and let me know if you still experience the same problem with the sample.
3) Default BackColor still visible: This issue is because of the defect # 754 (Flickering occurs while switching between wizard pages). This defect is fixed in our latest source code and the fix will be available in our next release.
Regards,
Mano
