Ribbon not Skinning

   Ribbon handles its own "skins" not the skin framework.  See the ribbon sample.

	Ok, sorry to be slow but I'm confused. Here is my code to load the skin (in a sub): SkinFramework.LoadSkin appath + "Office2007.cjstyles", "" SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = SkinFramework.ApplyOptions Or xtpSkinApplyMetrics SkinFramework.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd After this I set up the ribbon bar in a separate sub. I've tried adding the following to the end of the sub with no luck: CommandBars.PaintManager.RefreshMetrics CommandBars.RecalcLayout

	You have to make sure that you set all the properties of the CommandBar and RibbonBar objects after you have added the CommandBarControls. Thereafter, it is necessary to perform the "PaintManager.RefreshMetrics" and "RecalcLayout" functions.

	You need to set the style before setting the theme.

	I just upgraded from 15.2.1 to 16.2.0 and now the ribbon bar I have is not skinning. No matter what skin I choose, it's black. All I can see are the buttons. Uploaded screenshots will show what I'm talking about. I haven't been able to figure out what code I need to change to fix it. I've put the new style files into the proper location but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
