this.masterCountryTableAdapter.Fill(this.dsDataSet.MasterCountry);
ThemeResolutionService.ApplyThemeToControlTree(this.radGridView1, "Breeze");
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
currentTheme =
ThemeResolutionService.GetTheme("Breeze");
//if (currentTheme.ThemeProperties.ContainsKey("BaseColor"))
//{
// this.colorForm.SelectedHslColor = (HslColor)currentTheme.ThemeProperties["BaseColor"];
// return;
//}
HslColor baseColor = HslColor.FromColor(Color.FromArgb(250, 0, 0));
//this.colorForm.SelectedHslColor = baseColor;
currentTheme.AddColorBlend(
"BaseColor", baseColor);
}

Hello Lee,
Thank you for the question.
As described in this help article, you need to set the ThemeProperties of the currentTheme instance. However, there is no such setting in your code snippet. In addition, the baseColor instance should actually contain the base color which appears originally in the Breeze theme, but not the color that you want to set. Please refer to the correct code snippet which will make the Breeze theme red:
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Wow! Thanks Nikolay , That did worked.
I can see the difference between my and your code and i believe, I miss-used function Argb. I understand r,g,b . but what does 'A' stands for? ( I see that we have specified 255 value for 1st parameter of the function. )
Few more questions.
1. like ThemeProperties["BaseColor"] what are other properties, I can play around with.? Do we have a list?
2. Eg. at http://www.telerik.com/help/winforms/color_blending_.html it says "If the resulting skin still needs some touches, you can export the modified theme data to xml files". How to export theme modified at runtime ? is there any example for it?

Hi Lee,
The 'A' letter stands for the Alpha value of the defined color. For additional information about the FromArgb signature, please refer to MSDN.
The BaseColor value that used to get an item from ThemeProperties is actually the value defined before that in the added color blend. It does not matter whether the BaseColor string is called BaseColor1 or BaseColor5, it is important that you get an item from the ThemeProperties by passing the value defined for the color blend.
As to the process of exporting your blended themes, please refer to the attached sample project. It demonstrates the approach that you should follow.
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Best wishes,
