DarkCheckBox change BackColor?

[sp00n]

Is there any way to change the background color of a DarkCheckBox?
It's automatically set to a fixed gray color, but I'd like to include the checkbox within a striped list, and I can't seem to be able to override that fixed background color. Neither setting the BackColor property in the Designer nor in a Paint event worked.

It does work just fine for regular CheckBoxes.
