Thanx Nicholas,
I don't actually need a theming library or something like that ... just set
of colors that are in contrast with each other and don't look bad.
As some one said that a developer might think he has aesthetic sense, but he
doesn't.
Secondly I am not aware of any such chameleon application that has multiple
reusable themes ( colours ) in it , so I cant pick the colors :-(
Besides I was referring to the colors that are available by name in .NET and
not in RGB.
You see, I think that there must be like many sets of these named colors
that can be used to make good looking GUIs or themes.
Thanks anyways

rawCoder,
There is no native theming library in .NET for windows apps. However,
there may be some open source projects for this sort of thing, or there
may be a third party library that you can purchase.
As for getting the colors that you want, you should be able to get the
RGB values for these colors using any program that has an eyedropper tool
(they allow you to determine the RGB values for any color on the screen
usually).
Hope this helps.

news:uj*************@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... Hi All,
Have you noticed that Outlook ( dont remember which version ) utilizes
three to four colours to give the Blue theme look
AliceBlue
LightSteelBlue
Midnight Blue
You can use the above colours in appropriate places to give the look of
outlook atleast in terms of colours.
I was wondering if someone knows combination of colours for green or
yellow
or some other colour.
Or in a more broader perspective ... Is there any help that I may have
If i
want to make themed applications.
Thank You in advance
