I am having trouble getting the styles on the toolbar and coolbar to work together. When I add a manifest file the project the coolbar gets the new XP style and the toolbar is still flat and gray. Is there anyway around this?

I still haven't resolved this toolbar issue. Has no one ever encountered this before? I would like to use coolbar/toolbar, except this issue is preventing me from dong that.
The toolbars from vbAccelerator are too hard to use and I can't find any other toolbar replacement controls.
Really? Could you try to post the project (or miniproject)? Maybe I have a setting werid or something... Ig uess if you can't upload pics you probably can't upload a project.
You must be getting old RD. Can't you see the minor difference near the left edge of the rebar. Right where the toolbar part start the color changes. Can't anyone else see that? It is similar to the picture I posted (my 2nd post in this thread).
Welll then your mising the fact that the coolbar has a gradient background. This clashes with the toolbars background. Mine still looks better then yours. You need to set the toolbar width and height so the coolbar background doesnt show.

I dont answer coding questions via PM. Please post a thread in the appropriate forum.
Yes, I do see that the CoolBar has a gradient background, that is the point of this post.
Yours does look better than mine, but isn't there a way to get rid of the gradient on one or add a gradiant to the other? Or are there any good custom toolbar controls out there?
Setting the toolbar height would help a little, but I am going for a super professional effect. Are there any other solutions?
I reckon both of them look exactly the same. You need to make the toolbar background transparent somehow. I had a quick look and couldn't find any examples of doing that so it's probably not possible.
The usercontrol on vbAcc is probably the best around, but it is too hard to use because you have to set all the proeprties and icons, etc. at runtime. Thats too much trouble IMO, but maybe I will use it.
i'm having problem doing package when using vbAcc components...i dont know why but its true eyermonkey, vbAcc usercontrol is the best around..

"The reason you see open source there at all is because we came in and said there should be a platform that's identical with millions and millions of machines." Get it HERE
But I hate manually setting every icon and property by hand at run time. Plus the vbAcc control doesn't allow customization as easy. The default toolbar opens a dialog and does it all for you.
