On a skinned dark background, it's not very readable: None of the colors in my skin project seem to match (though because of cleartype I can't be positive) -- is there a property I need to add? ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |

The color of the main instruction appears to be hardcoded in CXTPTaskDialogClient::RefreshColors(): m_crMainText = m_bThemeReady ? RGB(0x00, 0x33, 0x99) : m_crContextText; Shouldn't this use a skinnable color? It is unreadable on a dark background! ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |

Here's my workaround for now, by overriding CXTPTaskDialog::DrawMainInstruction() . It's rather arbitrary and ugly, but it is a temporary solution sufficient for my current needs. (Overriding RefreshColors() was an option as well, but it's not virtual so more likely to cause problems.) Please let me know if and when there will be a way to handle this color properly from within the skin. class CSWTaskDialog : public CXTPTaskDialog { public: CSWTaskDialog(CWnd* pWndParent = NULL) : CXTPTaskDialog(pWndParent) {}; protected: virtual void DrawMainInstruction(CDC* pDC) { if (m_crMainText == RGB(0x00, 0x33, 0x99) && GetRValue(m_crContext) + GetGValue(m_crContext) + GetBValue(m_crContext) < 360) m_crMainText = RGB(0x66, 0x99, 0xff); CXTPTaskDialog::DrawMainInstruction(pDC); }; }; ------------- Product: Xtreme Toolkit Pro version 13.2 (Unicode, static build) Platform: Windows 200x/XP/Vista/Win7 (32/64 bit) Language: Visual C++ 9.0 (Studio 2008) |

Hello,
Thanks, we fixed it.
Here code we added
if (!XTPColorManager()->LongColor(m_crMainText, crWindow, 1, 50)) m_crMainText = m_crContextText; ------------- Oleg, Support Team CODEJOCK SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS |
