Modify the Ribbon sample rc2, and include 5 styles:
  #include "Styles\Office2007Blue\Office2007Blue.rc" #include "Styles\Office2007Aqua\Office2007Aqua.rc" #include "Styles\Office2007Black\Office2007Black.rc" #include "Styles\Office2007Silver\Office2007Silver.rc" #include "Styles\Office2007White\Office2007White.rc"
  cvtres.exe crashes during compilation of the resources

"To work around this problem, use numbers to identify resources instead of strings."

  This should have been fixed with SP6

I would like to avoid DLLs. Any chance to reduce the footprint of the themes?

Hello,
  You can add the DLL to your executable. If you need one, extract it to the temp directory, and use it.

  or wish follow solution. pack all png + ini file into a zip file. Add this to executable. XTPOffice2007Images()->LoadFromZIP( LPCTSTR lpResourceID);

  That's what I do with my resources. Everything in a ZIP file as a resource.

Hi,
  Now CJ put (compile) all files into a DLL. Why not pack all this files to a zip file. And add this zip file the a executable. And load styles instead of a DLL from the zip file in the resources.

  You can't load a DLL from memory without doing some crazy hijacking which doesn't work under Vista anymore.
  Do you mean to put the PNG + INI files into a ZIP? That would work. CXTPOffice2007Images needs support for ZIP resources.
