.. This should definitely work with panels. Maybe try to set them 'later'=
:

 > do p <- panel [..]
 >    set p [bgcolor :=3D blue]

or 'earlier':

 > do p <- panel [bgcolor :=3D red]


Also look at the "samples/wx/customcontrol.hs" sample.

The "enter" and "leave" events seem to be broken on windows. They kind
of work, but they are only fired after a while. The documentation of wxWi=
dgets
seems to imply that the windows API itself doesn't allow for precise
enter/leave events.

Hmm, border should work too. Maybe it is an attribute that you can only
set on construction, ie. use:

 > do p <- panel f [border :=3D BorderStatic]


I hope this helps,
