Hi.

Am in love with your job guys. Kudos and keep up. I experienced a crush of VB6 and the application(when its on run mode) whenever am changing the color scheme of windows XP style on the appearance tab of display properties. Just to mention also am using the ribbon bar. The code i invoked was:

With CommandBarsGlobalSettings
    .App = App
    .Companyname = "*********"
    .Title = "**********"
    .Office2007Images = App.Path & "\theme\Office2007Aqua.dll"
    .ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeSilver 'suspect line :o)
End With

SkinFramework.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", "Normalaqua.ini"
SkinFramework.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyFrame

Anybody out there who could help. (i wouldnot imagine my client doing something like this cuz they may outrightly make acusations on my system.)

Hello,

Thank you for good words.

We need to reproduce it on our side, but I failed:

I created new project aded sf and commandbars, copied themes/skins and added code

Private Sub Form_Load()
With CommandBarsGlobalSettings
    .App = App
    .CompanyName = "*********"
    .Title = "**********"
    .Office2007Images = App.Path & "\theme\Office2007Aqua.dll"
    .ColorManager.SystemTheme = xtpSystemThemeSilver 'suspect line :o)
End With

Dim Ribbon As RibbonBar
Set Ribbon = CommandBars.AddRibbonBar("The Ribbon")

Ribbon.AddSystemButton
Ribbon.InsertTab 0, "Tab"
Ribbon.EnableFrameTheme

SkinFramework.LoadSkin App.Path & "\Styles\Office2007.cjstyles", "Normalaqua.ini"
SkinFramework.ApplyWindow Me.hWnd
SkinFramework.ApplyOptions = xtpSkinApplyFrame
End Sub

and don't see problem with Color schme chainging.

Can you try to reproduce it with new small project?
