[B][URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Panel.Paint"]Panel.Paint [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG][/URL][/B] ?

But personally, I just drew a DImage straight after the DPanel, and then made it the size of the DPanel and set the material to the custom material I want.

You should use [B][URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Panel.Paint"]Panel.Paint [IMG]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/IMG][/URL][/B] and draw it manually, I'm not sure how much more efficient it will be, but it will be more efficient.

I find it easier to use DImage instead

Easyer is hardly ever better

I wouldn't say it's better, it's just easier to mess about with.

So how do i use Panel.Paint to pain a background? can anyone give em a example

[MakeR]

[lua]local panel = vgui.Create("DFrame")
panel:SetPos(10, 10)
panel:SetSize(100, 100)
function panel:Paint()
local x, y, w, h = self:GetBounds()
surface.SetDrawColor(255, 125, 0, 255)
surface.DrawRect(0, 0, w, h)
end
panel:SetVisible(true)
panel:MakePopup()[/lua]
