As soon as possible (i.e. before any windows shows up on the screen)

In a MFC MDI app, I typically stick it in
CMainFrame::OnCreate
or
CMainFrame::CMainFrame()

Thanks for the idea, but that doesn't work for me, since the program never gets that far. It always stops at the first function call:

XTPCurrentSystemTheme CXTPColorManager::_GetWinThemeWrapperTheme()
{
    // windows classic theme is in use we do not need to go further.
    if (!CXTPWinThemeWrapper().IsThemeActive())
        return xtpSystemThemeUnknown; <-- always goes here

Add aero.msstyles to CXTPColorManager::_GetWinThemeWrapperTheme (XTPColorManager.cpp):

     // search for "luna.msstyles" string in theme name.
     if (wcsstr(WCSLWR_S(pszThemeFileName, MAX_PATH), L"luna.msstyles") ||
// add:
          wcsstr(WCSLWR_S(pszThemeFileName, MAX_PATH), L"aero.msstyles") ||
//
          wcsstr(WCSLWR_S(pszThemeFileName, MAX_PATH), L"winxp.luna.cjstyles"))
     {

Previously (on XP) my app looked blue. I just upgraded to a new computer with Vista, and I also upgraded myversion of the toolkit (from ~10.3 IIRC), so I'm not sure which iscausing this issue (i.e. running on Vista or a change in the toolkit behaviour), but now it is grey.

The ShortcutBar Sample can be used to show the current behaviour, as it is also grey (see image) when displaying the "Office 2003" theme. It's not acting as it should, because the version of Office I installed (Office 2003) is still blue (see image again) on my Vista machine.

I've tried many combinations of:
CXTPPaintManager::SetTheme(xtpThemeOffice2003);
XTPPaintManager()->SetLunaTheme(xtpSystemThemeBlue); XTThemeManager()->SetTheme(xtThemeOffice2003);
XTPColorManager()->RefreshLunaColors();
(etc)
but I can't seem to get the blue back. How do I do it?

I'm using 10.4.2, building on Vista with VS2005 (with SP1 and Vista update).
