If you enable skinning and then disable it only for the task dialog (XTPSkinManager()->SetAutoApplyNewWindows(FALSE);), the dialog still gets partially skinned.






Why do the command links - which are basically just buttons - get completely skinned while the other buttons not?

Disabling xtpSkinApplyColors also doesn't help:

Hello,
Afraid CXTPWinThemeWrapper::IsAppThemeReady will return always TRUE if skinframework used. What problem to use skin for TaskDialog?

Like in Office I do not want to skin (modal) dialogs, which looks odd. You can't really distinguish the dialog from the main frame, the unskinned dialog has a better contrast to the main frame.

I'd say the Task Dialog behavior is a bug, isn't it?

Hello,
No its not bug. IsAppThemeReady  is global method and it can't recognize who call it - skinned window or not.
We agree that with skinframework its problem to have some skinned dialogs and some not because of global methods - for example hooking GetSysColor we can't recognize if need to return sysmem colors for non skinned dialog to colors from skin.
