Can we change background color befor form displays?

Hi;

Let's say we're running the sample Library app that shows dashboard with white background. Then you click a button to add a new member.

At this point Aware first creates a new "white" layer on the top of the dashboard which this layer also happens to be white as well.
Then, Aware display the "New Member" form on the top of the layer (this is pretty standard for creating dialog boxes). However, the new form also has a white background as well. Now you have three layers on the top of each other with the same white background. This gets confusing and a bit distracting to end-user.

My question and desire is to be able to change that middle layer color to, let's say light gray or some other color to create a better contrast with the new form sitting on the top it.

Could someone or support tell me how I can control the color of background that covers the entire screen when a form is about to display?

Thanks!

Ben,
I am not sure I fully understand your post / what you´re after but here are some thoughts.

If your goal is to change the color of the background BEHIND the form when the form has opened up in a new tab? This can be achieved via VP layouts (you can change background, css of layouts).

Create a process that open up the form (VIEW).
Create a layout that executes the process (1) via a command.
Create a process that opens the layout (DISPLAY LAYOUT).
Execute the process (3) to open the form.

I just wrote another post on layouts if you don´t know what they are yet:

If you open up the Library Sample program and follow my simple one step click, you can see when a form pops up, first Aware puts a white background layer and then displays the form. It makes the form as an SDI form that must be closed before anything else can be accessed. I'm asking if there is an attribute setting to control that white layer?
Thanks!

I did that and again think I understood, try my guide to see if I in fact did understand 🙂.
