  Hi
  
  I tried styling the 3 different themes but I was only able to style the Popup section. I got the code which you have posted (comboboxtheme.zip). I didn't understand from where by default Grey background or Onfocus (Golden background) for Office_black theme is coming from? I changed all the brush resources to White still the background color was grey. Are these controls part of the dll? Is there any way that we can create our own theme?
  
  This problem is not only with one theme but for Summer and Vista also..
  
  
  Regards
  Sathish

  Hello Sathish,
  
  I am not sure which brush you want to change. Can you please send me a screenshot or a project in which you indicate the color you want to change?

  Hello Sathish,
  
  The names of the brushes you need to change are as follows:
  
   - for the normal state: Background "ExpanderButtonNormal_Background", Border "ExpanderButtonNormal_Border"
  
   - for the mouseover state: Background "ExpanderButtonOver_Background", Border "ExpandButtonOver_OuterBorder"
  
  Let me know if you have further questions.
  
  
  Kind regards,

  Hi Sathish,
  
  The problem is caused by the version of the controls you are using - it is older than the latest Q1 '09 release. I am sending you the project where I have fixed the theme file for you.
  
  You should apply the RadComboBox style:                   

       <

   

  Setter Property="Template" Value="{StaticResource NonEditableComboBox}" />
      <Setter Property="EditableTemplate" Value="{StaticResource EditableComboBox}" />
      <Setter Property="NonEditableTemplate" Value="{StaticResource NonEditableComboBox}" />
  
  Sincerely yours,

  Dimitrina

  Hi Dimitrina
  
  Thanks for the reply. When I scroll keeping the combobox open after I apply my style, the page gets scrolled not the list in the combobox. Is there any way we can resolve that.
  
  Regards
  Sathish
