Hi all. I have a few TImages with .gif pictures on a Delphi form. Now what I want to do is to change the color of the form in the event handler of a button on the form, formTest.color := clPurple. Well it changes the form color but not the color of the TImage holder for some reason. I tried changing it with canvas.brush.color but the compiler moans that this can only be done with .bmp.

It works when I change the color in the form's object inspector but not when I click the button

Any ideas?
