Hello,
I'm trying to use the Visual Style Builder to create a custom theme for the grid control. I hope that the requirement is very simple but I must be doing something wrong.
I am attempting to make a theme using Metro as the base skin. The only modification I want to make is to change the blue colour that is used in metro as a highlight colour with our company orange (#F7B322). All other colours (mostly white and grey on metro) should stay the same.
I followed these steps:
- open visual style builder
- select metro as base skin
- tick grid tickbox
- click create
- under colourize tab (not fine tune) change base colour to #F7B322
- click Save
- repeat for Calendar, Input, Menu and Slider
- Download skin
In the previews this looks good but when we load up the skin on our application it looks all wrong. The grid lines and some grey elements in the background have turned white.
Any help would be amazing. Please let me know if I can provide any other useful information.

Browser: IE9 and Firefox 19

Hi, Edward.
We haven't update the VisualStyleBuilder in a while so perhaps that's the reason you are seeng those nasty results.
We'll be updating the VSB with the new skins and controls from Q1 2013 in the following weeks.
