What is the correct use of .msstyles files (loading method or reference) on an application in a way that the shortcut bar and report headers (among others) may reflect the correct style loaded?

A small example attached: XP and Royale ok. Others not so!

Hi Source,
 
The difference lies in the 'what images are in the skin'. See, for msstyles it only contain images for skinning window elements and other MSControls. Same applies for CJStyles.
 
For CJ Controls use Office2007 dlls since they have the different images for skinning CJ Controls.
 
Come to think of it, would be nice-have for CJStyles to have skinning for both Win and CJ Controls i.e. CJ Styles including the Office2007 dll allowing us to create our skins for CJ Controls.
 
Hope that explains it. :)
 
regards

Too bad. So .mystyles are in general no use?

Anyone knows about some controls like componentone that support full skinning (ActiveX)?

Hello,

You can set xtpShortcutThemeNativeWinXP theme for Shortcutbar:
frmShortcutBar.wndShortcutBar.VisualTheme = xtpShortcutThemeNativeWinXP
 
standard Office2003 theme just don't use skins colors - but have predefined 3 blue/olive and silver colors.  Its not issue of Skinframework or msstyles.
 
if you want use f.e Blue colors with all themes add
 
    XtremeShortcutBar.ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeBlue
    frmShortcutBar.wndShortcutBar.VisualTheme = xtpShortcutThemeOffice2003
