Skin Builder not generating necessary ribbon entry

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

   Hi, I'm experimenting with building a custom skin for a project at work. However, Skin Builder doesn't seem to be generating entries in the .rc file for ribbon bitmaps.

I'm starting with a base Office2007 theme when creating a new style... but when I export it seems to be missing these that are found in the "Source\Styles\Office2007\Office2007.rc":

OFFICE2007BLUE_RIBBONGROUPQUICKACCESS_BMP   PNG  MOVEABLE PURE "Styles\\Office2007\\res\\Blue_RibbonGroupQuickAccess.png"
OFFICE2007BLUE_RIBBONQUICKACCESSFRAME_BMP   PNG  MOVEABLE PURE "Styles\\Office2007\\res\\Blue_RibbonQuickAccessFrame.png"
OFFICE2007BLUE_RIBBONQUICKACCESSAREA_BMP   PNG  MOVEABLE PURE "Styles\\Office2007\\res\\Blue_RibbonQuickAccessArea.png"
OFFICE2007BLUE_FRAMECAPTIONMAXIMIZE13_BMP   PNG  MOVEABLE PURE "Styles\\Office2007\\res\\Blue_FrameCaptionMaximize13.png"

What ends up happening is our program tries to find these resources but they don't exist in the new .RC file that I've generated from skin Builder and it fails.

Am I doing something incorrect? or is there a different method that I need to approach when skinning the ribbon?

Thanks,
Duke
