Shortcut Bar Colours

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi
I want to customise the colours used by the shortcut bar, but I am finding it difficult to identify which display elements need changing.
I am trying to build this mock-up:

The currently selected group (at the top in this example) should be in colour &HC8C8C8 to &HE4E4E4.
The hot tracking colour should be &H4488DB.
If I do the following:
    With SuiteControlsGlobalSettings.ColorManager
        .SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeUnknown
        .SetColor STDCOLOR_BTNFACE, &HC8C8C8         'CaptionLight
        .SetColor STDCOLOR_WINDOW, &HE4E4E4

        .SetColor STDCOLOR_HIGHLIGHT, &H4488DB
    End With
I get total wrong colours! Help!

	In VB the "R" and "B" colors are reversed. Try setting as BGR instead of RGB when setting the colors.
