Using TookitPro 15.3.1, the ribbon transparency in Windows 8 and Windows 10 is not working.

Instead I get a graduation of unspecified colours.

Am i doing something wrong or my version is too old for win8/10 ? Is there a quick fix for that or at least a solution to remove transparency to all versions and use a solid color ?

Any solution for that ? I am using the "office 2010 black" theme and as I saw the official demo "RibbonSample" suffer from this bug even in the new version 17.  Take a look in the image below



Is there any solution for that ?

Hello sdancer75,

What code did you use to create and manage ribbon ?

Hi olebed and thanks for your interesting.

As you can read above I didn't used any code from my own. I just used the example in the latest xtreme code toolkit demo.

In my tests I found that this behavior is somewhat normal under windows 8/10 and for the "office 2010" themes. The ribbon code uses the current windows color scheme (in my case a yellow something theme) and uses that to create a degradation for the Xtreme Toolkit office's themes.

I didn't like it at all,  so I re-enabled the framewindow to have a somewhat controlled color scheme that does not change depending the window's color theme.

I did my tests by downloading the latest demos from codejock  and BCGSoft. Both of them had the same results for the office themes.  Maybe there are OS restrictions for that.
