I am hosting an edit control in the today screen, and would like to
set from the default white color background to the today screen
background color, so that it blends nicely with other today screen
plugins.
Is there any specific win32 API I can use, to get the today screen
background color.

Thanks,

What if the background is an image with no single color? I've never
tried to make any windows transparent, but maybe you can make your
edit box transparent and use the text color for your edit box with the
text color for the Today screen.
