Hi Sean,

I'm sorry but we don't have a background fill in that particular area by default.  You'd need to retemplate the group to support it.

We do however support the label foreground to be a different color via an asset:

<ribbon:Group Label="Test">
	<ribbon:Group.Resources>
		<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.RibbonGroupForegroundNormalBrushKey}" Color="Red" />
	</ribbon:Group.Resources>
</ribbon:Group>

In the version 3.5. This use to work, we have a ribbon window with group title in different backround color. After we upgrade to 2011.2. The background color is lost.

Sorry Sean, the label background was something only needed for the Office 2007 styles and in 2011.2, we dropped support for those old Office 2007 styles.  The Office 2010 styles don't use label backgrounds, and all the templates for Ribbon are much simpler overall without Office 2007 support since the 2007 look added a lot of extra complexity both in group templates in other places as well.

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense.

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
