  When I open generic solution and look for themes I only see a few listed

  

  713×696 28 KB

  However, if I go to C:\Program Files (x86)\ComponentOne\WinForms Edition\C1Themes\Themes

  I see 20+ themes.

  How can i get these themes as an option? Also if I edit/save a new theme how can I get that as an option.

  Thanks!

  Hello,

  As per the screenshot, you are looking under the VisualStyles for the C1Ribbon control. These are a bit different from the themes. C1Themes provide a more flexible way to change the look of the controls. Please refer the below mentioned link to explain these two :
  
  http://helpcentral.componentone.com/nethelp/c1themes/webframe.html#C1ThemesAndVisualStyleProperty.html

  Using a C1ThemeController will help you get the inbuilt themes/custom themes to choose from.
  
  Please refer the documentation link mentioned below to show how themes can be used in an application. This explains the use of custom themes as well:

  Hope this helps.

  Best Regards,

  When I try to customize a theme and save it I get this error? I’m saving directly from the theme designer so I’m not sure why calendar wouldn’t be included in this?

  Hello,

  Glad that we could help. The error seems to occur because you are using 15v3 builds to incorporate C1CalendarView. Please note that it is a new control that was released with 17v1 builds. Refer the release history here:
  
  http://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/WinForms_ReleaseHistory/webframe.html#2017v1.html

  We request you to use the latest builds from the below mentioned link and check if the issue persists:
  
  http://prerelease.componentone.com/dotnet40/c1winforms/2018-t1/C1WinForms.4_4.0.20181.307.zip

  If it does, please share the theme that you create at your end with the C1ThemeDesigner belonging to the latest version. This will help us understand the issue and help you at the earliest.

  Thanks and Regards,
  
  Esha

  It seems I may need to get everything on the same version

  4.0.20173.286

  There are other devs on the project and I believe we are trying to lock down to one version / release of c1 to use.

  I do see that the version of C1 Theme designer I had was newer than this. I need to find the one that matches my version mentioned above
