Themes

Ribbon uses a color table of several hundred colors to define the brushes used throughout the ribbon user interface. Actipro Ribbon comes packaged with nine default themes (color schemes).

Ribbon also allows you to supply a single color that will tint the entire theme to that color, thereby enabling the instant creation of custom themes with one line of code.

Built-In Themes

As previously mentioned, there are nine built-in themes for Ribbon. Three of them duplicate the themes found in Microsoft Office so that you may have a consistent look between Office and your own products.

Six other themes are based on the Windows system in use.
