Remarks

The ISymbolBackground interfaces is provided to set the symbol used by frame decorations to draw the background of frame elements. See also IFrameDecoration.

ISymbolBackground inherits from IBackground and gives you control over the FillSymbol used to draw the bbackground and the amount of CornerRounding of the background. The default value for CornerRounding is 0 which gives a square background. A value of 100 gives a round background.

Backgrounds, borders and shadows of frame elements are managed in ArcMap on the Frame tab in the Properties of frame elements.
