Hi,

I try to customize highlight color within a commandbar containing a RibbonBar... SetColor has no effet...

CommandBarsGlobalSettings.Office2007Images = App.Path & "\Styles\Office2007Black.dll"
CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ColorManager.SetColor XPCOLOR_HIGHLIGHT, RGB(0,255,0) 'Green
CommandBars.PaintManager.RefreshMetrics
CommandBars.RecalcLayout
CommandBars.Item(1).Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_TRACE, "trace"

Work fine and my button is hilghlight by a green rectangle.

If I add
Set RibbonBar = CommandBars.AddRibbonBar("Ribbon")
My button is hilglighted by a orange rectangle (red when clicked)...

Is there any way to prevent this or customize the office2007 style?

Hi,

Ribbon style usees bitmaps from Office2007Black.dll to draw self. You can update images in Office2007Black.dll with your own.

OK many thanks for your help Oleg...

What is the easiest way to update this dll?

Simply editing this dll, I van not found any "highlight" bmp ressource... Where can I get this yellow highlight color defined?

In this dll I can see a workspaceTopLeft bitmap... it seems that this workspace background is not displayed when using tabworkspace.
