Default settings for the IDE???

Hi,

Is there any way i can change the settings for the project i'm working in. Say, I want all my forms to have a RED background... now forms by default are grey. can i change some setting once and for all so i don't have to do it individually for a hundred forms..

thanks,d

PS : is this request a tad silly?

I would guess that the only three form properties that have user-defined defaults are the three that you can find under options: GridSize, ShowGrid, and SnapToGrid.

This is probably because these properties only relate to the .NET design environment, not so much the actual form properties; changing any of those three values will not change the look of the program when it is run.

Think of a form like an control you would make in VB6... remember the PropertyBag? The defaults were in the control.

Oh, and a pointless little extra, you can change the font of the form and change the font of every control whose font has not been modified. Interesting huh? I only know this because I spent a good hour figuring out why all my controls' fonts defaulted to size 10 wingdings(:confused:), I accidently changed the font on my form instead of my command button. :mad:

Ok, I'm done rambling. :D

Hey I just learnt that over in .NET, the controls on a form take on some of the properties of the form itself. Like if i had a form with its font property set to XYZ, all the controls on that form take that same font unless explicity changed... cool, cause that's just what i was looking for...
