Hello,

when I set the Theme using the Office2013.dll it works, if I set the VisualStudio2015.dll it doesn’t work L (Form is not themed as expected)

->work: CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ResourceImages.LoadFromFile(Application.StartupPath & "\Office2013.dll", "Office2013.ini")

Ribbon.VisualTheme = XTPVisualTheme.xtpThemeOffice2013

->not working: CommandBarsGlobalSettings.ResourceImages.LoadFromFile(Application.StartupPath & "\VisualStudio2015.dll", "VisualStudio2015.ini")

Ribbon.VisualTheme = XTPVisualTheme.xtpThemeVisualStudio2015Dark

I am using Visual Studio 2017. I made also a test in VB6 and here the VisualStudio2015 Theme work.

Any Idea what's wrong?

regards

Manuel

Hello Manuel,

VisualStudio2015.ini is wrong name for INI file.

Try VisualStudio2015Blue.ini, VisualStudio2015Dark.ini, VisualStudio2015Light.ini.

Regads,

Hello Oleksandr,

Hello Manuel,

There are some hard problems with using system menu (it is old feature) with latest themes, so we advice using Backstage instead of system menu.
