What does it mean "are didn't work"? You can't click them?

Or its mean you want to set backcolor? Or what?

You must reflect WM_CTLCOLOR message and returns brush:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CButtonOptions, CButton)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CButtonOptions)
ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(BN_CLICKED, OnOptionShow)
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT()
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

afx_msg HBRUSH CButtonOptions::CtlColor ( CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor )
{
static CBrush brush;
static COLORREF clr = 0;

if (clr != XTPPaintManager()->GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_3DFACE))
{
  clr = XTPPaintManager()->GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_3DFACE);
  brush.DeleteObject();
  brush.CreateSolidBrush(clr);
}
pDC->SetBkColor(clr);

return brush;
}

same for CSliderCtrl:

class CSliderCtrlEx : public CSliderCtrl
{
protected:
HBRUSH CtlColor ( CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor );

protected:
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
};

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CSliderCtrlEx, CSliderCtrl)
//{{AFX_MSG_MAP(CButtonOptions)
ON_WM_CTLCOLOR_REFLECT()
//}}AFX_MSG_MAP
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

afx_msg HBRUSH CSliderCtrlEx::CtlColor ( CDC* pDC, UINT nCtlColor )
{
static CBrush brush;
static COLORREF clr = 0;

if (clr != XTPPaintManager()->GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_3DFACE))
{
  clr = XTPPaintManager()->GetXtremeColor(XPCOLOR_3DFACE);
  brush.DeleteObject();
  brush.CreateSolidBrush(clr);
}
pDC->SetBkColor(clr);

return brush;
}

Can you get the gradient to show through for the Office 2003 theme or just a solid color?

Is there a way to reflect the null brush / set transparent to true like you can with a Dialog to have a bitmap or gradient background show through? I thought there was a thread here not that long ago where that was shown to be possible, but with the Command bars this will not work?
For some reason, I use a lot of CSliderCtrl's on my toolbars and they have to have grey boxes around them for now.
