To follow up on some of my and others frustrations about getting XTToolkit to work and look consistent.

I will give one example of the color selectors, taken from the samples, and all using the Outlook 2013 theme.

We have a color selector in the Ribbon in Ribbon Sample using the classes:

CXTPControlGallery and CXTPControlGalleryItem

We have a color selector for buttons in dialogs in Color Picker Sample using the classes:

CXTPColorPopup and CXTPColorSelectorCtrl

We have a color selector for a tracking popup menu in CommandBar Controls Sample using the classes:

CXTPControl and CXTPControlColorSelector

Looking like this:

Not very consistent, not very maintainable, and not very usable.
