The code I sent you DOES work !
Sorry, it's not enough just saying it doesn't work. You must send the code you are using to be able to help you otherwise we must try to guess what error you could have made.
You asked to change the background color, the code I sent you does it.
You get the compiler error because it seems that you are trying to read a background color and this is unfortunately not possible the Color property is write only. To get the color it's not that easy, have a look at
this tread.
Best regards.
