VS 2008 Use A Theme For Program, Regardless Of Global Theme?

Dec 12, 2009

I have a theme called 'Zune' on my computer, and like the way it looks.Is there a way too, make the program use the 'Zune' theme..even if the computer itself is using the default xxxx theme?I can simulate it by doing the graphics, but to make the program border less, then to do the move code when they click on the image box...etc... makes it for tedious work.

If I could somehow make the program use the theme..

Revert Corporate Windows 7 Theme?

Dec 21, 2010

As my Christmas week side-project I thought I'd knock up a quick console app that I can run from the windows Start-up folder.

The application is going to delete some unwanted Global Corporate Desktop Icons (I like to run a clean desktop - is this common?) and Reset the Windows 7 Theme to my lovely Visual Studio 2010 graphics.

I have read the reasons why this shouldn't be done pro grammatically for the user but I feel this case is different as every morning I am manually deleting the icons and resetting the theme (policy is not stopping this - just reapplying it every morning) so I though this little side project could save me time in the long term.

I am deleting the Icons OK but I am struggling to set my theme ala:


Dim key As RegistryKey = My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionThemes", True)

[Code]....

This is setting the registry key correctly but not applying it. Ultimately I may try a simple Wallpaper Set but I would like to use the theme if possible!

Theme Manager - File Is Being Used By Another Process

Sep 6, 2009

I'm building a theme manager. Each theme contains and XML file to describe the theme and a couple of images. I load the themes with a custom control into a wrappanel. As a preview of the theme I use a custom control, that shows the first 3 images of the theme. I load the picture into the images as follows (codeblock 1). You can delete the theme by selecting it in the wrappanel and then press delete theme button. It will add the name of the theme to a list and will delete the theme when the app exists. But then the app will bring up an error message saying that the file is used by another process - which is the main window of the app that has been closed.

Dim imgsrc As New BitmapImage
imgsrc.BeginInit()
imgsrc.DecodePixelHeight = theme.Image1.Height
imgsrc.DecodePixelWidth = theme.Image1.Width
imgsrc.UriSource = New Uri(fi.Directory.FullName & "" & nodes.Item(i).ChildNodes.Item(0).InnerText)
imgsrc.EndInit()
theme.Image1.Source = imgsrc

Making An Application Blend In With The Windows Theme?

Oct 8, 2010

Previously I used to piddle around with VB6 to develop a couple of personal projects. Following my upgrade to Windows 7, I've decided to piddle about with vb.net Express Edition 2010.If I wanted my VB6 application to blend in with the visual style of Windows, I would use the code and techniques described here. In short, I would use a Manifest file and a couple of calls within the application and most of the elements would look similar to the XP theme applied. If it was run on 2000, 95 or 98 then it would look like a standard Windows app. All was good.

Now I've moved onto vb.net, I've written a simple "Hello, world" application but I have absolutely no idea on how to make it look like the Windows 7 theme (eg. the font matches the system font and the widgets are styled correctly).Just changing the font is a hack and will look out of place on machines that are set-up differently or run a different version of Windows where the default font is different.How do I ensure my application matches the applied Windows theme irrespective of the version of Windows?

VS 2008 Let User Select A Form Theme?

Oct 27, 2011

Ok, so i am trying o make it so that a user can change themes, i have moved all major code to a module so it can be accessed but then i have a problem.

I have 6 forms, all forms are the same just different themes, The problem is that in the module it calls form1, like for example form1.webbrowser.blah.blah, if i user used form3 for there theme then this dones not work as in the module it calls form1.

Basically i need to add something else there like for example:

dim Cform as string
Cform = form1
Cform.webbrowser.blah.blah
But form1 can not be a string

Asp.net - Does Having A Theme For A GridView Prevent Changes To A Row's Backcolor Property On RowDataBound

Dec 15, 2009

I'm trying to change the backcolor of a .Net GridView when a certain condition is met. This should be fairly straightforward, but the color change isn't happening. Checking the rendered HTML shows absolutely nothing different in the affected rows even though the text change on the link is happening as expected.There is a default theme set for all gridviews and I haven't worked with that in the past. Is that preventing me from dynamically changing the color of a row or am I missing something else? I'm using .Net 3.5 and have the following in my code behind:

Protected Sub gvPrevious_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvPrevious.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
If currentCorrespondence.IsRetired Then //custom object, returning as expected
Dim link As LinkButton = DirectCast(e.Row.Controls(4).Controls(2), LinkButton)

[code]....

From the above code, when I go into the browser and view source, I would expect to see <tr style="background-color: #CD5C5C;"> for the affected rows. Instead, I see <tr> and <tr class="AlternateRowStyle"> (where appropriate). I see absolutely no effect from the BackColor property change. I have also attempted to use e.Row.CssClass with the same result.

Multimonitro - Unable To Change Position If Theme Changed?

May 17, 2011

1.Multiple monitors are connection to one computer and they are extended.

2.My window spans to two monitors (Any window like notepad or settings wizard).

3.We change Visual Style From ON to OFF ( i.e. Changed theme from basic and high contrast to Aero or vice versa)

4.The window which was present on two gets shifted to either primary or secondary monitor.

5.This behavior is ok with normal application but I am developing such application which fails if window moves away.

6.I have added handler to check if user changes theme or visual style using :

AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged, AddressOf UserPreferenceChangedHandler And in UserPreferenceChangedHandler I have checked if UserPreferenceCategory.VisualStyle changed and if it is changed then I have reset the window position back to old values before theme changed , but still it not reverting back to old position.

7.One strange behavior I observed is, it works if I set break point and step through code , but if I remove it then it's not working.

a. Added handler to catch user preferences changed event.

Private Sub RecordingWindow_Load(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
AddHandler SystemEvents.UserPreferenceChanged, AddressOf UserPreferenceChangedHandler
End Sub

b. Copied old position

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message)
If m.Msg = WM_MOVING Then
' Console.WriteLine("Window is moving")

[code]...

d . This is additional code which i tried instead of WndProc

Private Sub RecordingWindow_LocationChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.LocationChanged
_windowLocBeforThemeChanged = Me.Location
End Sub

Whatever operating system you are using for your current computer (windows 7 in my case) the buttons and tabs and everything else (apart from the windows border... or whatever you all it which i made myself) everything has the modern buttons on it.Hes an in game screen shot :As you can see it looks totally horrible... even the start menu has the windows 7 blue glow effect...I recently found another application (universe Sandbox) and it has the classic buttons even though i am using windows 7.how can i actually make my buttons classic? (without making picture boxes of each button)

Aero Theme Buttons - How To Make Text Show Just Color Not Transparent

after many weeks of annoying compatibility with windows xp, I realized that I should change the .netbar buttons to standard windows buttons. When I did this, and put the button on the transparency area and then debugged the application. I found out that the transparency add-in made the text inside the button transparent: How can I make the text show just the color, not transparent?
