	Try: CommandBars.Options.Lunacolors = False

	Hi SuperMario, thanks for the note ! This is what I already tried, but the whidbey colors seem to be darker than the office 2003 colors. Do you know what I mean ?

	I know what you mean, but this is as close as you can get with the ActiveX version since you can not create custom themes

	Take a look at the MDISample in the new release (Click on the custom theme button), the new method CommadnBars::SetSpecialColor (It appears this did not get compiled into the help file) is used to customize the colors of your commandbars. You should be able to set your CommandBar colors to look very similar to the Whidbey colors. Take a look at the "grey" theme in the sample

	This approach helps with CommandBars, but it doesn't have any affect on the DockingPanes in the application that also use the Office2003 theme. If they don't match, it looks silly. Is there any way to make DockingPanes use the same colors as CommandBars?

	You can now apply the Whidbey theme to both Command Bars and Docking Panes. It can be set with the VisualTheme, you no longer have to manually create the theme.
