It is, but it is kinda buried:

Each time a VisualTheme is applied, the color settings will be updated with the colors for the selected theme.  If the theme is changed, the the members of ColorSet must be updated to show the custom colors.  The Color and Appearance properties can be used to mix appearances and colors.

That's great... seems to work better. BTW... while these seems pretty obvious is it anywhere in the documentation?]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 12:14:32 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9667&PID=31483&title=docking-pane-appearance#31483 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9667&PID=31481&title=docking-pane-appearance#31481 Author: SuperMario

Be sure you are making these changes AFTER setting the theme:

DockingPaneManager.VisualTheme = ThemeOffice2007

DockingPaneManager.PaintManager.CaptionFont.Underline = True
DockingPaneManager.PanelPaintManager.Appearance = xtpTabAppearanceExcel

etc...

Okay, now I'm playing around a bit with the paintmanager, panelpaintmanager, and tabpaintmanager properties for my docking pane. I'm working with an sdi forn in vb6. Making changes to many of the properties (e.g., appearance, color, hottracking) don't seem to have any effect on the appearance of my panels or tabs. I am settng these properties in my form_activate event. Are there certain combinations of settings that must be used together? Is there a particular order that the properties must be set? Do I need to do anything after setting the properties (I have tried recalclayouts, redrawapanes, etc.)?]]> Fri, 22 Feb 2008 10:27:27 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9667&PID=31473&title=docking-pane-appearance#31473
