Hello Divya,

Thank you for writing.

I am not quite sure that I understand your requirement. Could you please try paraphrasing your requirement so I can provide you with adequate support?

If you are trying to set the color which you have previously selected in RadColorDialog to override the theme color, please consider the following help articles:

I am looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes,

Hi Divya,

Thank you for writing.

Themes and colors are different things. Themes are complex property settings to all our controls and when you apply one of the predefined themes, the entire application gets the look and feel defined in the theme. This is why you can not select a color in the color dialog and expect it to be applied to the application.

However, there is a possibility, where you set a certain theme and you can change its base color using the ColorBlending mechanism. Please refer to this help article, which demonstrates how can you use this mechanism.

I hope that this will work for you. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
 
All the best,
Stefan

Hi Divya,

Thank you for writing back.

The color blending takes a specified color from the current theme and changes it to another specified color. For example, take the silver color of the Office2007Silver theme and change it to orange. Please refer to the attached video. 

As far as I understand, this is exactly what you want - to change the main color of a theme. Otherwise, if you want to change other color as well, you have to edit the theme(s) and change them accordingly.

Let me know if this works for you and whether I understood your requirement correctly.

All the best,
Stefan
