Hello,

I am using themes with the shell form and the ribbon control and they seem to be working fine. But when I add the docking manager and dock panels, I notice that they have no theme or style properties. If I set them transparent, the assume the form colors but when they float they assume the standard windows colors. Is there a way around this?

Thanks!!

Hello Bruce,

The DockManager can be styled through its ThemeName property and this feature will be available with the Q3 service pack next week. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks Dimita,
This is good news!!
With regard to themes and styles, is there a way to apply the themes to an existing non rad control or pehaps extract some of the theme attributes like back and fore colors and apply them manually if needed.

We all have existing controls like the grid that we need the theme at least partially applied to.

Thank you again

Hello Bruce,
Currently Visual Style Builder doesn't allow creating themes for ordinary WinForms controls but this is on our TODO list and I think that this feature will come true for Q1 2007.
