Task Panel colors

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

   Do the custom task panel colors only apply to certain themes?
If I have the following code:
 spTaskPanel->VisualTheme = XtremeSuiteControls::xtpTaskPanelThemeNativeWinXP; 
spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionTextSpecial = 0x551122;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionDark = 55;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionLight = 0x223344;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->BackgroundDark = 0xAABB22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->BackgroundLight = 0x4411DD;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionDark = 0xAABB22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionLight = 0xAAAA22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupClient = 0xAAAA22;
  spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionTextNor mal = 0xAABB44;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionTextHot = 0x33BB44;
It looks like this:

But if I change it to be the Whidbey theme
 spTaskPanel->VisualTheme = XtremeSuiteControls::xtpTaskPanelThemeToolboxWhidbey;
  spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionTextSp ecial = 0x551122;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionDark = 55;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->SpecialGroupCaptionLight = 0x223344;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->BackgroundDark = 0xAABB22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->BackgroundLight = 0x4411DD;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionDark = 0xAABB22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionLight = 0xAAAA22;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupClient = 0xAAAA22;
  spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionTextNor mal = 0xAABB44;
 spTaskPanel->ColorSet->NormalGroupCaptionTextHot = 0x33BB44;

It looks like this:

Why do most of the colors not apply to that theme?  Especially the 'special' ones?  If I want the special group to be a different color with the Whidbey theme how do I do that?
Thanks,
-James

	Thanks Oleg, Does that include the ability to have 'special' panes display in a different color? - James

	This doesn't seem to be fixed in 9.7 ... if I have the xtpTaskPanelThemeToolboxWhidbey theme specified my task panel is aways the same color regardless of if the special property is set or not.

	I don't have a copy of VB so wasn't able to try your sample but I reviewed my WTL code and found the problem. I had set the special color to something close to black (which was obvious in other themes, but not with the whidbey one)... everything looks like it's working. Sorry for the false alarm.
