That it doesn't work for you doesn't mean that it is a bad choice. It
was choosen this way, since setting the color would destroy normal
theming, so the bitmap background of forms would become invisible.
Then why give use the choice of a Color property on a TForm? Why
allow TPanel's Color to work and a few others... It's inconsistent
having some components Color property to work and others not. Also I
thought LCL is trying to be compatible with Delphi's VCL, which does
allow the user to override the default Color.
Forcing all GTK applications to always use the theming colors is *not*
always the developers desire. Think in terms of fullscreen
applications like Kiosk, etc. A simple example of an application than
shouldn't give a toss about the colors used by the window manager.
Instead the GUI of Kiosk apps are much more graphical. Images for
buttons, colorful backgrounds ,etc..
Sorry, a bad design choice!
