I've added a CXTPTabCtrl to a dialog in one of our applications that contains the Office 2007 / Office 2010 / theme. 

I'm currently setting the dialog color by setting up a brush based on the color returned from XTPResourceImages()->GetImageColor(_T("DockingPane"), _T("WordPaneBackground")); and overriding the OnCtlColor function, as per your Ribbon Sample.

The CXTPTabCtrl control that I add leaves a nasty grey strip behind the tabs rather than reflecting the theme. When I debug into the code there is a function CXTPTabBaseTheme::GetBackColor() that returns the value GetXtremeColor(COLOR_3DFACE), whereas the value I want is contained in the color enumeration, XPCOLOR_3DFACE (amongst others).

Is this a bug? The only way I've found to get around this is to make a call
XTPColorManager()->SetColor(COLOR_BTNFACE, GetDialogColour()); after setting the theme,
but this has other undesired side effects, such as leaving disabled edit boxes with a strange multicolored look.
