I am developing software with my new user interface called KhromaUI.
But a problem stops the development of my software this the default
color of TNotebook and TPageControl,is default color depending OS
colors. in Windows is White (Windows XP with Luna Theme), and in
Ubuntu TNotebook and TPageControl is with color depending the
background color of the form and is unable for change. How I can fix
this?.

Time ago, attempt to convert the TNewNotebook Delphi Component of
Jordan Russell from Inno Setup but failed because the missing units
(DsgnIntf, DesignIntf).

Some solution, please?.

Add the IDEIntf package to your dependencies of your package.

Yes, the inconvenient is the code in the file called
NewNotebookReg.pas use these units but im not familiarized with the
design interface of lazarus.

for investigate see the code:
http://cvs.jrsoftware.org/view/issrc/Components/NewNotebookReg.pas?rev
ision=1.3

but i want other way to change the color of a TNotebook and
TPageControl for example a new component inherited, owner draw or
other

simplest way - put a client-aligned panel on a tabsheet; change its
color; put the controls on the panel.

nothing was missing - it's just that borland (inprise?) renamed some
units between delphi 6 and 7 (and moved a few designer stuff around).
oh well, just pick up lazarus, make that old control work and make it
available to the new community.

Forget the IDEIntf, DesignIntf, and other units having to do with the
IDE interface. And the simplest way is not sufficient, i want change
the color the page of the Notebook because in Windows is white and not
combine with the colors of my user interface.

One time as tested a code that changes the color of the notebook but
doesn't work (tested only in Windows).

Code: [Select]procedure TForm1.Form1Create(Sender : TObject);
begin
 TNotebook(Notebook1).Color := clBlue;
end;

PS: I tested with a client-aligned panel with other color and i put a
tnotebook with a page but have the same color (clWindow) in Windows
but tested in Ubuntu with GTK2+ Widget set works. my application must
be cross-platform

it's not white, just bright (it is a gradient bitmap). you may want to
reduce the monitor brightness before it messes up your eyes...

I'm saying i want to change the color of te Tnotebook pages a other
color for example Blue!!!!. If i put a panel with color a TNotebook
page in Windows this change a that "Gradient Bitmap" what you say is
impossible a change the color this way
