There seems to be a problem when you skin an app with the office 2007 style
for starters, the Office2007.cjstyles file only contains Blue and Aqua. That DLL doesn't contain resources for Black and Silver.
When you look into the projects that build Office2007Black.dll and Office2007Silver.dll, the INI file formats are completely different.
When I load Office2007Black.dll as a skin, I get big chunky black boxes everywhere. The frame shape looks like the Dire Straits Money for Nothing video - cool in 1984, but pretty chunky now!
I can get the app frame, skin and dialogs all working sweet with Blue and Aqua (using Office2007.cjstyles).
I've tried several methods:
option 1.
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin("Styles/Office2007Black.dll", "OFFICE2007BLACK.INI")
option 2.
XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(LoadLibrary("Styles/Office2007Black.dll"));
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, "OFFICE2007BLACK.INI")
option 3.
include the Office2007Black.rc file in my .RC2, and use
XTPSkinManager()->GetResourceFile()->SetModuleHandle(AfxGetInstanceHandle());
XTPSkinManager()->LoadSkin(NULL, "OFFICE2007BLACK.INI") I've tried all sorts of other combinations.
I get one of 2 outcomes.
1. No skinning. In this case, the frame looks ok, and the commandbars etc, but dialogs are native XP.
2. Chunky skinning.

I found something interesting
If you open the .cjstyles files in MSDev as resources, and look into the INI file embedded in it, it's in UNICODE.
If you look at the DLL files, they aren't.
In the past when I worked with a style DLL, the INI file had to be unicode in order to load at all from the style manager.
I'll try rebuilding that by saving the file as unicode (needs a BOM marker at the start of the file ).

They have totally diffferent formats. Don't use file from ribbon styles as skin for whole application. |

didn't make any difference in this one.
It's like the image loader isn't finding any images.
I'm still very suspicious about the differences in the INI files, how is the loader supposed to get all the extra information that's in a cjstyle file from nowhere? The metrics for starters aren't in the INI file for the other ones.

Hi,
Yes, now we don't have black Office2007 skin. :( Check Vist.cjstyles maybe black skin from Vista can work for you.

OK. Is there any plan to make one?
I built a project for a couple of skins before for CJ, I'll see if I can piece one
together for Office2007 black based on the resources from the ribbon bar.
