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?
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?

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.

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

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.

Here is my example project. Sure I am just not understanding how it works yet :wacko:
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.
From what I can tell, the Delphi TRibbon is based on the Windows ribbon API – which doesn't expose any color properties because the control is drawn with bitmaps rather than rendered with colors/patterns. Taking a quick look at TRibbon you can see that the style can be set but there are no Color properties. If you look at the DevExpress ribbon and it *does* have colors then you're in luck and you'll be able to at least semi-skin your control using one of the methods discussed in this thread [topic='6544']here[/topic].
