Hi

I've been using the XtraTabControl with an XtraLayoutControl and having some problems finding answers to help achieve what I am setting out to do. I'm trying to set a background gradient on a tab page then layout some controls over that , using the XtraLayoutControl.

1. I've set the tabcontrol's "use default look and feel" to false, and set the back colors. This works, but not until I set the style of the look and feel to "Flat".

2. Now I place a layout control on the tab page, without any items so far. By default it has the skin so I disable the default look and feel of the control and set the style to flat.

I've tried many different options on step 2 here but it I can't figure out how to get the layout control to just be transparent, and I'm having trouble finding the relevant info in the documentation.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
