I understand your question now, sorry for this misunderstanding.

Ribbon control can't be skinned by AlphaSkins, unfortunately.

That's a bummer. Do you know what the bottleneck is? I've got the source code to it and I was wondering if maybe it couldn't be modified.

Borders and title of form (non-client area) are not drawn by DevEx Ribbon in your case, so, you can use SkinProvider with enabled DrawNonClientArea property.

And you should not have a problems with skinning of such form.

Here is my example project. Sure I am just not understanding how it works yet :wacko:

The form skins fine. But I am wanting to know whether or not the TdxRibbon from DevEx will skin? It doesn't. It is keep the same colors. I am wanting compatibility with the third party DevEx if at all possible. I understand this is suppose to work.

With disabled DrawNonClientAreaproperty you should receive a skinned client area and non-client area which is handled by Ribbon control.

What result do you have? Can you show a screenshot?

Ooops… I probably should haven't sent you the properties

I'm not sure if you want my design screenshot or running application screenshot. What do you mean by I should receive a skinned client area and non-client area? How does it get received?

I'm send both screenshots. I hope it's what you want.

Hello!

TsSkinProvider component is compatible with DevEx Ribbon if TsSkinProvider.DrawNonClientArea property = False.

(This property specially was added for compatibility with Ribbon controls).

I am trying this with AlphaControls Lite. I am not having any luck?
