  I've been looking at this all day and cannot figure it out. The attached image I have a styled RadComboBox. I'm trying to find the place where I change the Orange'ish highlight color of a Combo Box Item. I thought it was in ButtonChrome but changing the highlight state doesn't change it.
  
  Can someone either give me detailed direction on how to get to the color or attach a simple example?
  
  I found an example for RadMenuItem but it doesn't seem to work the same for RadComboBox

  Hello Scott,
  
  Could you please share how you switch between themes for your RadComboBox?
  
  As a whole, when you wish to switch themes at runtime, you should recreate the UI on the page. This is necessary to force the control to pick up its new theme.
  
  If you changes themes through a DataBinding without reseting your layout, it is likely that your theme will not be applied correctly. This is simply how our theming mechanism works.
  
  I suggest you try recreating your layout after you have changed the theme. Please, let me know if that helps in your case.
  
  
  All the best,
