    DataGridView backcolor not working in Windows 8

    I have an application with a DataGridView published and running on Windows 7 and Windows XP machines perfectly with yellow backcolors on certain cells/rows.

    But, on Windows 8 machines the backcolors do not display. Has anyone seen this?

    with yellow backcolors on certain cells/rows.
    If these are datagridview combobox cells, see link below on FlatStyle Property:
    DataGridViewComboBoxCell.FlatStyle Property
    CodeBank: VB.NET & C#.NET | ASP.NET
    Programming: C# | VB.NET

    No they are just text cells. I was able to resolve the issue by running the application in Compatibility mode inside Windows 8. Like I said, it runs without issue on Windows 7 and Windows XP. No colors would display in Windows 8.

    When will Windows 8 dry up and blow away? What an awful operating system.
