How to set background color of Metro Statusbar

Question

I have used Dotnetbar to create a Metro Form application. In my form, there is a metro statusbar on bottom. How can I set its background color ? I tried to set BackColor in Properties but nothing changed.

You can set the new color using StyleManager:

StyleManager.MetroColorGeneratorParameters = colorTheme;

Where colorTheme can be either a custom theme (the base color defines the color of the status bar):

var colorTheme = new MetroColorGeneratorParameters {
    BaseColor = Color.Red,
    CanvasColor = Color.White,
    ThemeName = "My theme"
};

or one of the predefined themes:

var predefinedThemes = MetroColorGeneratorParameters.GetAllPredefinedThemes();
