Hello,

Is it possible to change the colors of a VB6 application, as if it was running on a classic theme with defined colors using xtreme skinframework or something?

A few skinning applications I've seen change the look by tiling bitmap parts over controls, which is harder to customize, and won't give the same look on some details.

I mean I have a classic windows color theme, and want my application to have the same look on desktops with different themes. I don't need bitmaps.
