Dragging out and reinserting ToolStripItem Issue

[nieve]

Hello all,
This is an issue I came across while using the RadToolStrip:
I set a new RadToolStrip back colour to ControlDark, set the ToolStripItem Back Colour to transparent and the ToggleButtonElement to transparent/white gradient (see code below).
Whenever I drag the ToolStripItem outside it's ToolStripElement, let it float, then take it back and dock it in the ToolStripElement again, the Item looses the colours I gave it and is repainted in gradient blue as well as getting a bigger size.
Is it a bug, or something can be done here?

Hello nieve,

When you drag a toolStripItem outside the bounds of its toolStripElement the built-in logic creates a new floating form which is a container for the items possessed by RadToolStripItem, and the current RadToolStripItem instance is disposed. When you drop the floating form over an instance of RadToolStripElement a new instance of RadToolStripItem is created with the items from the floating form, so the color properties which you have set in design time are lost.

To fix the problem, modifythe theme of RadToolStrip through the VisualStyleBuilder and then apply it to RadToolStrip.

Contact me if you have more questions.
