Um...excuse me?

He wants to change the colors of the actual Derma panel, not the contents.
I.E. He wants to change the default gray border and white button with black text/images to be something a bit prettier.

Oh. He worded everything weird, so...

Anyway, I've never dealt with derma, so somebody else will need to help.

I really don't care if this counts as bumping but I do know the answer to this topic for I have achieved this here is my motdmenu with the gray background the motd has completely transparent.

If you don't want the gray box to be completely transparent then change surface.SetDrawColor( 50, 50, 50, 0 ) this will be on line 18 if you can also change the 50's to whatever I would experiment with the numbers until you got the color you want as for me I wanted my motd to be completely transparent so I have mine surface.SetDrawColor( 50, 50, 50, 255 )
If you used the tabs like the first post then
window.Paint = function()
surface.SetDrawColor( 50, 50, 50, 255 )  Should be added to lines 21 to 22 also don't forget to add end to line 23 if you don't add end to line 23 the motdmenu will create an error

Code: Lua

1. ulx.motdmenu_exists = true
2.  
3. local isUrl
4. local url
5.  
6. function ulx.showMotdMenu( steamid )
7.         local window = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
8.         if ScrW() > 640 then -- Make it larger if we can.
9.                 window:SetSize( ScrW()*0.9, ScrH()*0.9 )
10.         else
11.                 window:SetSize( 640, 480 )
12.         end
13.         window:Center()
14.         window:SetTitle( "ULX MOTD" )
15.         window:SetVisible( true )
16.         window:MakePopup()
17.         window.Paint = function()
18.         surface.SetDrawColor( 50, 50, 50, 255 )
19.         end
20.        
21.         local html = vgui.Create( "HTML", window )
22.  
23.         local button = vgui.Create( "DButton", window )
24.         button:SetText( "Close" )
25.         button.DoClick = function() window:Close() end
26.         button:SetSize( 100, 40 )
27.         button:SetPos( (window:GetWide() - button:GetWide()) / 2, window:GetTall() - button:GetTall() - 10 )
28.  
29.         html:SetSize( window:GetWide() - 20, window:GetTall() - button:GetTall() - 50 )
30.         html:SetPos( 10, 30 )
31.         if not isUrl then
32.                 html:SetHTML( ULib.fileRead( "data/ulx_motd.txt" ) )
33.         else
34.                 url = string.gsub( url, "%%curmap%%", game.GetMap() )
35.                 url = string.gsub( url, "%%steamid%%", steamid )
36.                 html:OpenURL( url )
37.         end
38. end
39.  
40. function ulx.rcvMotd( isUrl_, text )
41.         isUrl = isUrl_
42.         if not isUrl then
43.                 ULib.fileWrite( "data/ulx_motd.txt", text )
