thanks guys . I've got the backstage buttons and separator ok now based on what you've shown as examples. I'm actually doing it this way now rather than changing each individual control...

Public Sub ChangeButtonTheme(xObject As Object)
'- object can be a form or a usercontrol
   Dim xButton As Control
   Dim btnStyle As XTPBackstageButtonControlAppearanceStyle
   Dim sepStyle As XTPBackstageSeparatorControlAppearanceStyle

   Select Case CurrentRibbonTheme
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLESYSTEM
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceStandard
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceResource
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2007BLUE To ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2007AQUA
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceOffice2007
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceResource
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2013WHITE To ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2013DARKGREY
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceOffice2013
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceOffice2013
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2016WHITE To ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2016COLORFUL
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceOffice2013
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceOffice2013
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLEVISUALSTUDIO2015BLUE To ID_OPTIONS_STYLEVISUALSTUDIO2015LIGHT
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceVisualStudio2015
      sepStyle = xtpAppearanceVisualStudio2015
   Case ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2016WHITE To ID_OPTIONS_STYLE2016COLORFUL
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceOffice2013
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceResource
      '- codejock example uses resource for both
   Case Else
      btnStyle = xtpAppearanceResource
      sepStyle = xtpSeparatorAppearanceResource
   End Select

   For Each xButton In xObject.Controls
      If TypeOf xButton Is BackstageButton Then
         xButton.Appearance = btnStyle
         xButton.ForeColor = mainForm.BackstageView.GetForeColor
         xButton.BackColor = mainForm.BackstageView.GetBackColor

      ElseIf TypeOf xButton Is BackstageSeparator Then
         xButton.Appearance = sepStyle
      End If
   Next
End Sub

There's still an issue with the BackstageListBox (for a recent file list) though - it fails to pick up any of the themes (not just the office 2016 one) and it fails to show the appropriate icon associated with the file type. Codejock's own examples (VB RibbonSample) don't work either as from v17.1.0, though v16.4.0 does work. For example, try the Visual Studio 2015 dark theme in Codejock's examples, and you'll see what I mean. So this appears to be a bug that's been around for a couple of years .

Hello Nick,

You can explore our sample Samples\CommandBars\C#.NET\RibbonSample\
I have added example how customize Ribbon Backstage Page

//frmMain.csprivate void SetBackstageTheme()
{
    XtremeCommandBars.XTPBackstageButtonControlAppearanceStyle nButtonAppearance = XtremeCommandBars.XTPBackstageButtonControlAppearanceStyle.xtpAppearanceResource;
    XtremeCommandBars.XTPBackstageSeparatorControlAppearanceStyle nSeparatorAppearance = XtremeCommandBars.XTPBackstageSeparatorControlAppearanceStyle.xtpSeparatorAppearanceResource;

    switch (CommandBars.VisualTheme)
    {
        case XtremeCommandBars.XTPVisualTheme.xtpThemeOffice2013:
            nButtonAppearance = XtremeCommandBars.XTPBackstageButtonControlAppearanceStyle.xtpAppearanceOffice2013;

Version 18 Ribbon Office 2016 Theme : I use the backstage buttons in...

I use the backstage buttons in my application also outside of the backstage.

So that the buttons always take on the same color as the color theme (Office2016. dll), I use the following:

Here's where I give the main theme:
BackstageButton.Appearance = xtpAppearanceOffice2013

'Here the background color (I need the buttons e. g. in white):
BackstageButton.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)

'And here the font color.
BackstageButton.ForeColor = strThemeFontColor

'--------------------------------------------

Fill the variable "strThemeFontColor" with the corresponding font color when changing the theme.

Case ID_THEME_01: strStyleINI = "Office2016WordColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(42, 87, 154)

Case ID_THEME_02: strStyleINI = "Office2016OutlookColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(1, 115, 199)

Case ID_THEME_03: strStyleINI = "Office2016PublisherColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(7, 117, 104)

Case ID_THEME_04: strStyleINI = "Office2016ExcelColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(34, 116, 71)

Case ID_THEME_05: strStyleINI = "Office2016PowerpointColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(183, 71, 42)

Case ID_THEME_06: strStyleINI = "Office2016AccessColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(164, 55, 58)

Case ID_THEME_07: strStyleINI = "Office2016OnenoteColorful.ini"
                  strThemeFontColor = RGB(128, 57, 123)

This method may be unconventional but it works
Maybe this will help you.

Many greetings

Fritzchen

Hello Harry1975,

If you load Office2016.dll as CommandBars theme then Backstage also will get resources from Office2016.
If you ask about fullscreen Backstage in ActiveX - you can set

BackstageView.SetTheme 17  'show new fullscreen backstage

17 is xtpThemeOffice2016, but unfortunately we haven't added it to ActiveX version. Now we are working on improving switching between old backstage and new fullscreen version. So it is temporary solution.
