Can you show us the code you''re using here, and tell us what platform 
(Win/Linux/Mac) you''re using.

thanks
alex

my code is

@label1 = StaticText.new(@picturebox2, -1, ''Calculator'', 
Point.new(168,38), Size.new(213, 39))
@label1.set_foreground_colour(Colour.new(255, 0, 255))
@label1.set_font(Font.new(15, FONTFAMILY_DEFAULT, BOLD, 
FONTWEIGHT_NORMAL, FALSE, ''Kristen ITC''))

@picturebox2 is image background that I add to Panel
I set like this and output it''s can work completely but background of 
''Calculator'' label is gray and other label be the same
:''(

On Windows at least, StaticText always draws its background in the theme 
background colour.

Instead of using StaticText, I would suggest drawing the text directly 
onto the bitmap using a DC (DeviceContext), inside an evt_paint event. 
Use draw_bitmap to paint the bitmap onto the frame, then draw_text to 
draw the text atop it.

The simplest example of this can be found in the dialogs/dialogs.rb 
sample - search for on_paint method.
