How do I change the appearance of a component’s background color when it is disabled? I want some pushbutton components to be disabled depending on the security of who is logged in. I can changed the foreground or text color just fine but I would like to know if the system just defaults the background color of disabled components to a certain color and whether or not I can change it. Thanks.

It depends on the component you are using. Each component might treat the enabled property differently. Which component are you using?

Just a standard momentary button.

That component does change the background color. We don’t have a disabled background color property so you can’t change that right now.
