Thank you!

I suppose you mean that you can make the change in the IDE. Not that 
there is an already existing option for it?

I know that it will not draw it, so your second assumption was the 
correct one. This is the string I've got now, but it is not reflected in 
the designer (yet), even though I've reloaded and restarted Gambas.

Public Const _Properties As String = 
"*,Text,Border,Color1{Color}=14671839,Color2{Color}=262119327"
