Hi,
 
I'm using VB 6 and Controls v15.3.1 (Active X) For my TaskPanel I set at design time:
 
wndTaskPanel.VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeOffice2003
 
When I compile my program an run it on a different pc, the Office2003 Theme disappeard.
I guess that I need to load a Theme from a ressource dll, but I'm not sure how to do.
 
1)  I can only see Office2007.dll, Office2010.dll and Windows7.dll but no Office2003.dll. Where can i get this?
 
2) Is ist correct to load a Visual theme like this? 
Call TaskPanelGlobalSettings.ResourceImages.LoadFromFile(App.Path & "\Office2010.dll", Office2010Blue.ini")
 wndTaskPanel.VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeResource
 
The helpfile shows:
 
'*** Task Panel ***

'Set Task Panel to Office 2007 Black
TaskPanelGlobalSettings.ResourceThemeImages.LoadFromFile App.Path & "\..\..\..\Styles\Office2007.dll,Office2007Black.ini"
TaskPanelGlobalSettings.VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeResource

I can ony see the "ResourceImages" Property - there is no "ResourceThemeImages" Property!

ResourceImages is correct, the name was changed after the help was written.

There is no 2003 dll, that theme is internal.  Have any pics?

I use this for setting VisualTheme (no load of any dll before)
wndTaskPanel.VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeOffice2003
 
The same Exe looks on different systems:
 
 
Is the Office2003 Theme still included in Version 16.xxx of TaskPanel Component?
Is there any chance to keep the "blue design" of my "Windows7" Screenshot?

Its because it uses system colors.

Try setting this:

TaskPanelGlobalSettings.ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeBlue 
wndTaskPanel.VisualTheme = xtpTaskPanelThemeOffice2003

Hi Mario!
Perfect! Setting the Global Settings was the solution!
 
I tried to do the same for the Report Control. But there seems to be different problem. I loaded icons from ressoucefile for each record and for the watermark. The same Programm looks on different systems:
 
 
Here's my code:
 
    Dim P As IPictureDisp, ax as integer
    For ax = 1 To 4                                                                     
        Set P = LoadResPicture(500 + ax, vbResBitmap)                        ' Loading Ressource 501 to 504
        FrmPanWatchdog.WndReportControl.Icons.AddBitmap P.Handle, ax, xtpImageNormal, True
    Next

 
When I change my code and load the bitmap directly, there's no problem:
 
 FrmPanWatchdog.WndReportControl.Icons.LoadBitmap App.Path + "\1.bmp", ax, xtpImageNormal
 
Do you have an idea on this?

Hi, are you remote on the Windows 2003 server?

Watermark doesn't work with Remote Desktop etc.

yes i'm by remote on Windows 2003. Is this a bug? I'm wondering because the icons are missing as well...
