excel CommandBar

Hey,
I' ve created a custom CommandBar in vba. It' s oriented on the left side of my excel sheet. I added different built-in icons and related them to macros.
Is it possible to change the background colour of the CommandBar?
It' s grey by default, but I want to change that colour.
Thanks,
Alex.

I don't believe so. Perhaps by subclassing, but too much work for
a small feature.

Edit: I just remembered that there was a plugin for IE that would
skin the coolbars. It was called hotbar. So maybe there is
another way.

Thanks.
You talked about subclassing. How can I learn and do that in vba?
I know how to program object oriented in several languages and earned my money doing that.
Can I do subclassing in vba or is it necessary to create a new CommandBar object outside, in another environment like Visual C++?
Thanks,
Alex.
