I don't really care, "in what way" as long as it stands out.

Well, to change the title bar, you may be able to set a color property, but I suspect you'd have to owner draw. To flash things on the form, is far easier. Just set a timer to fire and alternate some colors. Kill it after a particular number of iterations.

You can build an array and select from there, or select the red/green/blue components at random

Yes, use a random class and three integers.
Dim Ran as new random dim R as integer = ran.next(0,255) dim G as integer = ran.next(0,255) dim B as integer = ran.next(0,255) me.backgroundcolor = color.fromargb(r,g,b)Your getting three random numbers, rgb values, and making a color out of it.Please check out my articles: The ANZAC's articles
