Item.BackColor Property (ExRadialMenu)

By default, the BackColor property is -1, which indicates that no background color is applied to the item. The BackColor property retrieves or sets a value that indicates the item's background color. The BackAlpha property specifies the value of alpha / opacity channel to show the item's background color.

The following screen shot shows an item with a different back color/alpha on item/sub-item portion:

The following samples show how you can change the item's back color/alpha:
