2007 theme switching

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

   I'm using version 10.3.1 of the Toolkit, and I'm trying to add the "2007" look to my app. I noticed that my status bar wasn't coming out exactly like the shortcut bar sample (i.e. I wasn't getting the rounded corners).

Then I noticed I could get the same behaviour with the sample application (as seen above). The top image is when the application starts up (which is how I thought it should look). The bottom image can be duplicated by switching the theme to "Office 2003" and then back to "Office 2007". I was expecting it to go back to the original look...

	Check the StylerBrowser sample, the above screenshot is the Ribbon theme while the other one is the Office2007 theme.
	Codejock support

	Thanks for the info - it makes a lot more sense now that I've taken a look at the Stylebrowser sample. Right now the Shortcut bar sample comes up with the Ribbon theme, but in the menu the "office 2007" item is checked. I think the menu needs an additional "Ribbon" entry, so that it would be possible to flip back and forth between all of them (like you can in the StyleBrowser sample).
