Prerequisite Knowledge Views and Themes: Themes Overview |
The Office 2007 themes, which are represented by the Office2007BlackTheme, Office2007BlueTheme, and Office2007SilverTheme classes, are pixel-perfect themes that can be seamlessly integrated into any Office 2007-like application. The themes were designed to blend prefectly with the corresponding Elemental themes.

The Office 2007 themes are contained in a "Theme Pack" that contains various non-system themes. In order to use the Office 2007 themes, which are located in Theme Pack 1, the containing assembly must be added to the project references (see Table 1). Like other themes, they can be set using either attribute syntax or property element syntax through a multi-surface view's Theme property (see Example 1).
