   Hi 

I have a program with a frame window and an about dialog (I call aboutdlg.DoModal() when user clicks on Help button).
For the frame, I use the normal RibbonTheme with blue colors.

I'd like the dialog to have the ribbon theme with silver colors.
In CAbout::OnInitDlg, after creating commandbars for my cxtpDialog, I set

HMODULE hModule = AfxGetInstanceHandle();
pCommandBars->SetImageHandle(hModule, _T("OFFICE2007SILVER.INI"));

but the frame color changes from blue to silver too.
How can I separate the 2 windows?

(...Or alternatively, can I apply 2 different skins to 2 dialogs in the same app?)...

	If you look at SkinControl sample it shows how you can use multiple skins. In this case I would use the Blue theme for ribbon like you already do. Then look at skincontrols sample to see how to skin the dialog.
