vb.net: Hi,

Can anyone guide me on how I might find what colours an XP computer is using
for it's theme? I wish to change border colours of boxes to match those of
standard control borders that usually appear blue if using the standard
theme.

Thanks,
Merlin

Hi Merlin,

try the "Windows XP Visual Guidelines" from Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/hwdev/windowsxp/downloads/default.mspx).

-> it does only give yout the colors for the standard theme. I got the rest
of the colors by using a color picker tool like pixie
(http://www.nattyware.com/pixie.html)

regards

Mike
