Is it possible to change the SystemTheme while my application is running?

Currently I use the following code from the MDIForm_Initialize event to set the SystemTheme on none XP workstations:

CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeBlue

But I would like to allow the users to change this setting from an Options form, however, using the following code has no effect. 

CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeOlive

The problem that you need to notify that color was changed.

option 1 Send. WM_SYSCOLORCHANGED to your frame

option 2. change Visual theme to same: 

ComamndBars.VisualTheme = ComamndBars.VisualTheme

Thanks oleg, works like a charm.

One additional question. How do I set the VisualTheme for the ReportControl?

I've since discovered that this doesn't work for WorkSpaceTabs. Existing tabs retain their theming, new tabs get the new theme.

How can I reset the theming for the Tab Workspace?

Thanks
