Color of wxGauge in wxProgressDialog

[Kenneth Porter]

I'm digging around in the progress dialog code and don't see an obvious way
to affect the color of the bar in the gauge used in the dialog. Am I
missing something?

It seems I could walk the window tree under the dialog and find the gauge
with a dynamic cast, then issue wxGauge::SetForegroundColour. Is there
something easier?

No, at least under Windows the colour of the gauge can't be changed at all
anyhow, just try doing it in the gauge page of the widgets sample.

I experimentally found that I could change the blue bar to red. I searched
the window tree of the dialog to find the gauge and set its foreground
color to red. This is on XP with the latest updates.

Do you use themes or classic look and feel? I could have swore it didn't
work with themes. FWIW it definitely doesn't work under Windows 7 (just
checked).

Windows themes or something else? I thought Windows themes were always in
effect, and out of the box there was a default theme. (It's not something I
mess with much.)
