Delphi - Changing forms Titlebar and Menu colors

Hi

I want to change the titlebar color from the windows 'blue' color to clMaroon and also
the MenuSelectionColor.

Can anybody tell me how to do this. Currently I was trying to use the following code, but
this doesnt seems to work..
________________________________________________________________________________________

CIndex : Integer;
CValue : Longint;

CIndex := COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION;
CValue := clMaroon;
SetSysColors(1, CIndex, CValue);

To adjust the colors from the ActionMenuBar I tried to set the colors of the ColorMap to
clMaroon. These properties seem to be: btnSelectedColor, btnSelectedFont, Color

And in the Delphi it does changes to clMaroon but when I run the appl. the colors are
still set on the windows clBtnFace.
Does anyone countered these problems and knows a sollution to it?

Where are you calling this code from? OnFormCreate()?, OnFormShow()?

okay I fixed the problem of the MainMenuBar. I only changed it from in the property
window but now I adjust it runtime it works fine.

Just in the FormCreate method
