Changing the background color of the wizard dialog [message #481558]

Hi All.
I would like to change the background color of the whole wizard dialog. The
content area is no problem, but I don't know how to change the color of the
button panel and the panel surrounding the content area. Unfortunaltely the
method WizardDialog#createPreviousAndNextButtons is private, so it is not so
easy to change unless I copy-paste this method into my implementation of
WizardDialog. Not a very attactive solution. Should I instead recursively
traverse the object structure and set the background color? Any good
suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Anders Baumann

I figured it out. The recursion solution actually works pretty well.

I usally set the background mode of the dialogs shell to
SWT.INHERIT_FORCE. And then set the shells background colour. All
controls will inherit the shells background colour then.
