I just upgraded to 9.60 and had the problem that all my edit boxes in the toolbars were black. I then confirmed with the CommandBars/CustomThemes sample. It's also black there. After tracing some code into XTPro, I found out, that if I'm using UNICODE, "BOOL CXTPEdit::m_bRichEditClass = TRUE;" is set. This enables rich edit controls instead of regular controls, my workaround for now is to set "CXTPEdit::m_bRichEditClass = FALSE;" during my application's initialization. I suppose you should check this out.

btw. my system: WinXP SP2 english. black edit control doesn't seem to be XTPro-theme related (in CustomThemes example I tried all available themes..)
