Trying to create a dark colored 2013 theme in the app stylist. I do this by opening up one of the three 2013 themes (white, gray, dark gray) and simply editing that. The trouble is trying to change the color of the application's window frame. I've tried a few different things, but nothing will allow me to affect the frame's color. I assume this is possible, as Infragisitics advertise it to be so, like in the images below that I took from the Winforms page. Does anyone know how to configure this?
Hi David,
Based on your description and the screenshots provided, I assume you are referring to the 1-pixel border around the form when using the Office2013-style. Unfortunately, this isn't highly configurable. The color is based on the current Office2013 ColorScheme being utilized which you can specify using the Style Libraries Properties Pane in AppStylist:
The White and LightGrey schemes use different shades of blue, and the DarkGrey scheme uses a grey border. Hopefully, the DarkGrey Office2013 will help meet your needs for the Dark theme.

Let me know if you need further assistance with this issue. Thanks,

Yeah, let me be more specific. I'm talking about the toolbar back color (containing the title, minimize, expand, and close buttons). In the pictures above, one is black, another white, and one brown. I'm having a hard time getting that to change for me by editing in the app stylist, or even trying to edit the .isl itself. It would be nice to control that border that you're talking about though, thanks!
