Ever wonder how the SETUP.EXE screen gets its cool shaded background coloring? This color shading is called dithering, and you can easily incorporate it into your forms. Add the following routine to a form:
Sub Dither(vForm As Form)
Dim intLoop As Integer
vForm.DrawStyle = vbInsideSolid
vForm.DrawMode = vbCopyPen
vForm.ScaleMode = vbPixels
vForm.DrawWidth = 2
vForm.ScaleHeight = 256
For intLoop = 0 To 255
vForm.Line (0, intLoop)-(Screen.Width, intLoop - 1), RGB(0, 0, 255 -intLoop), B
Next intLoop
End Sub
Now, add to the Form_Activate event the line
Dither ME
This version creates a fading blue background by adjusting the blue value in the RGB function. (RGB stands for Red-Green-Blue.) You can create a fading red background by changing the RGB call to
RGB(255 - intLoop, 0, 0).
