WinForms Office 2010 Theme and Ribbon (Skin) - v2010 vol 1

Very nice Skin. Could become the favorite for my next Tool.

Please make the orange effect optional and allow for a different graphic to be used, or at least allow for color changes to it. Most people do want an Office 2010 look, but not a replication of the Microsoft specific branding elements (These might be protected trademarks anyway).

I really like the effect in the Office 2010 Startup screen as well as in the App Menu, but need to implement the same effect with our own branded graphics.

This looks great!

Excuse the question but can the developer change the color of the AppButton/AppTab without creating a new skin?

As you said, you can overpaint the bottom right corner with an image. So it's not possible the give a kind of basecolor and the corner is painted accordingly, is it?

Hey Ray,

This leads me to believe the new ribbon style is skin driven? Is that correct? Or can I use the new ribbon style in all skins by setting a RibbonStyle property on the RibbonForm or something along those lines? That would obviously be ideal.

I've always been impressed with the accuracy of your themes. I gotta say though, when demo'ing an Office 2007 or Office 2010 theme you should really go the extra mile and use Office 2007 or 2010 icons. The ones in your screen shot are definitely not of the Office 2010 style and thus really subtract from the "wow" factor. But still, good job on the theme.

Hi Ray, It's to see that you follow the move. Office 2010 brings nice refinements to the ribbon. Can you tell us what's your plan for the application menu. Will we have to do it by hand or will you provide a component for that purpose ?

Hi,

Has anybody got a video or tutorial of actually how to create such interface using DEVEXPRESS. A project or something ????
