how to set background colors?

I am trying to use codejock skincontrols 13.1 in combination with commandbars 13.1. However, since we use the skin (WinXP.Royale.cjstyles for example), the background of for example a textbox is white.

The problem is, that when you try and set the background color of the textbox from code (e.g. textbox1.backcolor=vbred), the background color remains white.

Is there any way to make a textbox skinned, but still gives the application control over the background color?

edit: i just tested, and codejock v12.0.2 did give the programmer control over the background color of textboxes and option boxes. It appears to be a newly introduced bug in the ocx.
