Set TaskPane Background

[GGian]

I am designing my first InfoPath task pane. In an effort to make the panes
look more professional, i would like the background color of my taskpane to
match the background color of the application and toolbars and so forth. I
could hardcode this, but if a user has a slightly different set of
preferences then it will look messy. Is there any way to use either C# code
or script to get the background color of the application(toolbars, and
taskpane border), so that I can set my taskpane to the same color? Any help
is greatly apprciated!

Steve,
thanks so much. this helped very much. I just set the backgorund color of
my taskpane to "scrollbar" which seems to match the taskpane border
perfectly. thanks for the help.
