Hi Rick!

Tks for your reply.

You're right.

In Outlook2003Bar the control's themes for XP (Blue, Silver and Olive) are actually hardcoded and in the next version will be also.
The class has an option to automatically "follow" the same XP active theme like Office 2003 does, but, like you (and others) said, Office 2007 and Vista doesn't have this behavior.

So, I think that I have two ways to follow in the next version:

Let the actual behavior to automatically follow the active XP theme (when using XP, of course) and let Vista themes chosen "manually"

Or

Change the actual behavior and let the developer choose "manually" the desired theme independently of the OS (I still provide the predefined - hardcoded - themes for XP and Vista).

I would like to receive some community feedback about the preferred option.
