Question

How to change background color and text of notifyIcon component?

Answer 1

For the text, you want the BalloonTipText property:

var notifyIcon = new NotifyIcon();
notifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Your string here";

However the balloon's background color cannot be set using this type. If you really must change it, you can instead use the Shell_NotifyIcon function in the Win32API, as described here.
