ThemeIssue.png

Hello. I have used a RadRibbonForm and dropped a Windows7Theme on it. I explicitly specified the theme name on the controls (RibbonBar, StatusStrip). The Visual Studio IDE shows me the correct Office 2010-like ribbon interface. How ever, upon running on my Windows 7 x64 machine, The rendered form look somewhat different.

Please see attached image.

Also, I'm tired of specifying the theme on every element. I'm using Visual Inheritance and my Base form has an instance of Windows7Theme element dropped on it with it's modifiers being Private. All forms inheriting the Base Form are rendering with Windows7 theme but all elements on the form(s) are not. I have asked this question here as well.

Please help me out, kindly.

Hello,

The items in the menu that you have pointed out are themed. This style is part of the Windows7Theme (see attached screenshot).
You can specify a theme for the entire application. Please have a look at the documentation at this link

Hope that helps
If you have any questions, please let me know

It doesn't look good ... the brown menu... And what about the text appearing corrupt for the Ribbon's Quick Access buttons? Why doesn't my runtime-form look like the design-time form? It looks like the application's title bar is being rendered by Windows 7 and not by the Telerik's theme.
