[Feature Request]: KryptonDateTimePicker's monthcalendar with custom background color

[AttilaPazmandi]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I do not know as of now. I checked the documentation and even the source but I was not able to find a working solution.

Describe the solution you'd like
The KryptonDateTimePicker should have a property to change its MonthCalendar's background color. Currently only top/bottom rows can be styled.

Describe alternatives you've considered
As mentioned above, I think currently this is not supported. When I apply a dark(ish) theme to the controls, it would be great if this MonthCalendar would take those parameters too.

Additional context
I guess it is quite self-explanatory what I'd like to achieve, but if not please just let me know.
I checked many thing before and I am aware of Microsoft's DateTimePicker limitation. As I see KryptonContextMenuMonthCalendar does not inherit DateTimePicker, so it might be possible?

Hi @AttilaPazmandi

Have you tried setting the ControlBackStyle to Control - Custom 1, then change StateCommon -> Back -> Color#?

Hi @PWagner1
Thank you for your feedback.
As I see, ControlBackStyle is a property of KryptonMonthCalendar (and KryptonBreadCrumb) but here the KryptonDateTimePicker has KryptonContextMenuMonthCalendar what is derived from KryptonContextMenuItemBase, therefore the ControlBackStyle property is not available. I spent hours (SIGH) on this already, but without luck.

Hi @AttilaPazmandi

Yes now I see. It's because the State### for the KryptonMonthCalendar are not accessible from KryptonDateTimePicker.

Anyway, You can workaround by overriding the LocalCustomPaalette settings in the designer (Or at run time) to have control of the full layout colours of the calendar "PopUp":

e.g. The Day background colour box
