Skins and Windows 7

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   We are seeing an issue when running an application which implements skinning created with Extreme Toolkit Pro v13.4.2 under Windows 7.  When the Windows 7 system is using the Aero theme and we run our skinned application, everything works great unless we use ctrl+alt+del.  
Once we use this key combo and select an option or even cancel the action, Windows 7 disables the Aero theme and pops a dialog stating "The color scheme has been changed".  Once we shutdown our skinned application, Windows 7 switches back to the Aero theme.  If ctrl+alt+del is never used, all is fine as Windows 7 is never changed from the Aero theme.

Is this a known issue?  If so, has it been resolved in Toolkit Pro 2011?

	The Skin Framework samples, do not change skins as the resources are not compiled into the executable. I would have to change the samples to compile the resource into the executable to test with the sample apps.
