Hello Darren Breed,

Thank you for your interest in the Desert theme. I am attaching the titlebar and client parts of the RadForm to my message. Feel free to modify them according to your design preferences.

Please note that have a known issue with modifying an existing RadFrom theme in Q2 2009 SP1. This issue will be addressed in Q3 2009. For the time being, please follow the instructions below:

1. Open the Form's Desert Theme XML file and find the following XML construct:

This is normally positioned at the end of the file.

2. Change the stylesheet relation as shown below:

3. Save the file and open it in the Visual Style Builder. You will see the settings of the Desert theme applied to the Form, i.e. the outer thin border will be set to dark brown, the inner thicker border will be set to lighter brown and the background color of the Form will be set to white.

4. Change the elements' appearance according to your preferences and save the file.

5. Open the saved file in a text editor and again find the following construct:

6. Change it accordingly and save the file:

You should be able to use the modified theme in your project by loading it from the RadThemeManager component or by building a Theme Component and referencing it in your project.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Best wishes,
