Good question I wondered about that too. My suggestion at this point it too download some of the samples here and see how others did it. It should be in there. My best guess is that the various Explorer bars and outlook 2003 bar implementations should contain just what you need.

It depends on what you are trying to change. If you want to change the colors of the toolstrips, menustrips, and statusstrips, you will need to create your own renderer that derives from
ToolStripProfessionalRendererand your own color tables that derive fromProfessionalColorTable. You can then set theToolStripManager.Rendererproperty to your renderer. You will need to change theRenderModeproperty on the toolstrip, menustrip, and statusstrip toManagerRenderModeas well.----------------------------- In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday. http://geekswithblogs.net/sdorman
