But
But I want to change the back color of the dateTimePicker itself, not the dropdown.  Why is this control SO non standard.  Disable doesn't gray it out, backcolor can't be changed, forecolor can't be changed.  Highlighting multiple days looks terrible.  There is so much wrong with this control :(
