Too dark color used in flat toolbar

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello;

I use a toolbar in a dialog and create it as streched and with no border using black office 2010 theme:

  CXTPCommandBars* CommandBars = GetCommandBars();
  CommandBars->SetTheme(xtpThemeResource);
  Toolbar_.SetCommandBars(CommandBars);
  VERIFY(Toolbar_.CreateToolBar(WS_TABSTOP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CHILD|CBRS_TOOLTIPS, this));
  VERIFY(Toolbar_.LoadToolBar(IDR_TOOLBAR));
  Toolbar_.ShowExpandButton(FALSE);
  Toolbar_.SetFlags(xtpFlagAlignTop|xtpFlagStretched|xtpFlagNoBorders);

The toolbar background is almost as dark as the labels. Therefor it's hard to read them!

When I remove the xtpFlagNoBorder flag the background is lighter and the colors differ much better. But without the flag the edges look ugly inside my dialog box:

I want to get the background as drawn in the second screenshot, but with the overall appearance as in the first screenshot. Is this a bug or not?

How?

TIA
