The background of the DockPanel is control is not changeable.

Changing line 622 from
g.FillRectangle(SystemBrushes.AppWorkspace, ClientRectangle);
to
g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(BackColor), ClientRectangle);

Corrects the behavior.

Should be changed to

using (Brush brush = new SolidBrush(BackColor))
{
g.FillRectangle(brush, ClientRectangle);
}

otherwise the gdi object might not be released correctly.
