Any suggestions to match other Xtreme controls?]]> Thu, 13 Dec 2007 18:19:56 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9066&PID=29432&title=wrong-shade-of-blue-in-office2007#29432 <![CDATA[Wrong Shade of Blue in Office2007 : That&#039;s so cool that you did...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9066&PID=29360&title=wrong-shade-of-blue-in-office2007#29360 Author: corpcon

That's so cool that you did that.
Thank you!
 
Except ... I guess the background of other controls, such as the Xtreme Suite tab control, will still remain dark blue. I could set the color to default, but then I lose the cool styling of the tabs.

With SkinFramework, I am using the Office2007 theme. However, compared to the real Office 2007 color, the blue is way too dark and looks kind-of cheap (over-powering) - see image. Is there a way to change this without manually setting the background colours of each form and frame, etc.

 
 

In my code I have the line ...

SkinFramework.LoadSkin sBuiltInStylesPath & "\Office2007.cjstyles", "NormalBlue.ini"

 

I feel kind of stupid for asking these questions ...

 

I basically just copied this code from examples. I have no idea where NormalBlue.ini is or how to use it. I'm assuming it's not really needed for the default colors.

 

I also tried to change the color using the SetColor Method, but there wasn't a real example in Help of how to use it, so I had no luck with that. Also, the syntax for SetColor has ... ByVal Color As ULong ... What the heck is Ulong? VB choked on that, so I switched it to just Long.

Anyway, to the point - I know the RGB values of the real Office2007 shade of blue, so is there a way to change the appropriate background colors of forms and frames to that lighter shade?
