Color of buttons not change

You did not add the buttons to the form.

If you want to change the conman settings of all buttons, you can do it in the design mode by selecting all the controls and then change it from property window.

If you want to change the things from the code, then your code looks OK. Can you please tell where you are using this loop code.

What Buttons have you already created at design-time: any ?

OK, so you are creating new button objects in the loop. If you want to set the colour for all the buttons on your form, you need to use those objects. Something like this:

C#

foreach (Control control in Controls)
            {
                if (control is Button)
                {
                    // Set values here
                }
            }

The colors don't change because you actually create new buttons and give them a color. What you can do instead: put the buttons in an array, loop over the array and change the color:

C#

Button[] buttons = new Button[] { button1, button2, button3, button4, ..., button15 }; // replace with the names of your buttons
for (int i = 0; i < buttons.Length; i++)
{
    Button currBtn = buttons[i];
    currBtn.BackColor = Properties.Settings.Default.cColorBack;
    currBtn.FlatAppearance.BorderColor = Properties.Settings.Default.cColorFore;
    currBtn.ForeColor = Properties.Settings.Default.cColor;
}
