How to refer to BG-color, used by some Windows elements (scrollbar, pushed-in option button, etc.)?

Ok, this turns out to be a lot simpler than I thought - it's just about the Brush used to fill the BG-rect.

I'm sorry I don't know Forms very well, but MFC has a function for providing such dithered bitmaps (AfxGetDitheredBitmap), so I assume you'll have to do something similar.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
