Those are actually decorations. They're just frames and you color them using the paintbrush. The decorations are in the "Decorations" section of your Controls palette.

I'm sorry if this is so blunt, but this is in the User Manual. I've noticed you've been asking a number of questions that are in that book. Place the decoration on the front panel. Select the paintbrush tool from the Tools palette. Move the paintbrush to the border's edge. Right-click. Select color.

There should be manual under your labview install. Look in C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 7.1\manuals.

Or you could go the labview Help menu then select Seach the Labview Bookshelf...

hope this helps

cheers guys, sorry again for being a burden.

Again, I apologize for being blunt. It's not an issue of not wanting to help, but there's often people on here who basically ask questions that are answered in the manual, and it makes me wonder sometimes whether they even bothered to look it up. You've indicated that you've tried looking up the information so I'm glad to help.

FYI: The manuals are also on the NI website:

7.1 
8.0
