Changing one color in a skin changes another color

Hello Dear Support and Members,

Please help!

I successfully changed the "BtnFace" color of Office2007.cjstyle skin. And it is working very well.

But the highlight color on toolbar and menu have automatically changed to brownish. I used to be orange color in the original Office2007 skin.

I have rechecked the modified skin. In the skin builder, it shows orange for toolbar and menu highlight color.

But when I run the program, it shows brownish orange. See the image below.



Please help.

IMPORTANT NOTE: 1) This toolbar is in a dialog box. 2) The toolbar and menus were created using CXTPOffice2003Theme. I could not use CXTPOffice2007Theme because it showed the toolbar and menus in plain black and white color.

See the below image if I use CXTPOffice2007Theme for the toolbar in the dialog box using the below code




To code used to set the toolbar to the dialog box is below:

VERIFY(InitCommandBars());     CXTPCommandBars* pCommandBars = GetCommandBars();         m_pStandardToolBar = pCommandBars->Add(_T("Standard"), xtpBarTop, RUNTIME_CLASS(CXTPToolBar));     m_pStandardToolBar->LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR_STANDARD);     m_pStandardToolBar->EnableDocking(xtpFlagStretched);     m_pStandardToolBar->ModifyBarStyle(CBRS_GRIPPER, 0);     pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bShowExpandButtonAlways = FALSE;     pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bAutoUpdateShortcuts  = TRUE;     //the following 2 linces will show shortcut keys in the tooltips.     //cool     pCommandBars->GetCommandBarsOptions()->bToolBarAccelTips = TRUE;     pCommandBars->GetShortcutManager()->SetAccelerators(IDR_MAINFRAME);     m_pStandardToolBar->SetPaintManager(new CXTPOffice2007Theme());

Please help. There are 2 issues above:
1. Brownish color
2. Black and white color on using CXTPOffice2007Theme

Thanks.

For #1, Codejock generates additional colors based on the colors you set. The 3D highlight color is the bright edge (the orange you can see as a single line on the top and left of the button).

For #2, you're probably linking statically and not including the rc files with the images required for the Office 2007 theme. In your application.rc2 file, include:

#include <XTToolkitPro.rc>
#include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Aqua\Office2007Aqua.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Black\Office2007Black.rc"
#include "Styles\Office2007Silver\Office2007Silver.rc"

Hope this helps!

PS. Mixing skins and themes involves a lot of trial and error!
