Themes - Docking/MDI for Windows Forms Forum

Our users really like the DockManager theme that appears by default on my windows vista box and really DON'T like the Office2007-like theme that appears on their XP boxes.

I'd like to force the dock manager to always use whatever theme is the default on my vista machine, but I can't seem to figure out which one it is. Can you tell me what I need to do to determine which theme it's using and which DockRenderer I need to create and add to the DockManager to get the desired look & feel?

Hi Kelly,

Instead of fooling with the renderers, you probably could set the UIRendererManager.ColorScheme property to the WindowsColorScheme instance you want (like WindowsColorScheme.WindowsDefault) at app startup. WindowsColorScheme has a number of static scheme properties you can play with to determine which you like.
