Can I force a background color /foreground text color on a plugin button?
If it's dependent on the skin can I force it without adhering to the skin?

If you mean in the Effect's GUI (docked in Browser), you can change pretty much everything, but you have to create a GUI for the Plugin
See this example http://www.virtualdj.com/wiki/Plugins_SDKv8_Example4.html

Thanks for the link. Didn't realize there was a gui example. Problem is I tried to compile it but it's missing the .rc file and without that it gives me an error:
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'resource.h': No such file or directory
1> Main.cpp
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'resource.h': No such file or directory

In that example, you need to add the XML and PNG files as resources to your project.
This section here:
Tells you that in that example the XML and PNG were added and given IDs of IDR_SKINXML and IDR_SKINPNG, with types XML and PNG respectively. Obviously you can use whatever you like, just update the code accordingly :)
This section here:
rcXML.id = IDR_SKINXML; // as defined in resource.h
rcPNG.id = IDR_SKINPNG; // as defined in resource.h
rcXML.type = "XML";
rcPNG.type = "PNG";

I still can't piece it together. I think I'm going to start a new thread and relate it to this GUI and general MS Visual Studio C++ setup. Thanks maybe I can kill 2 birds with one stone.

I know that the description of resource.h was simply a text box that said "xxx". However, I made a resource.h file, typed "xxx" and saved it, and it doesn't throw that error anymore. lol
