Hello,
It is the designed behavior because some font value should be assigned to display the content in the application on which theme is being applied.
You can change the default font value as per your need. To change the font go to the following option in the C1ThemDesigner application :
→ BaseThemeProperties → DefaultFont

Hi,
I know that, if I changed the theme by ThemeDesigner, I must copy beside my application and if you fixed some bugs in that Theme I must doit all times.
If add some feature in theme manager that updates some properties for themes it’s very useful.
like
SetThemeProperties("ThemeName","PropName","Value")
I change all fonts for all themes at the start of application and users see apps with correct fonts or correct ribbon images.

Hi, any progress?

Hi,
As per the developers, you can change the font for the specified theme for the whole application in this way
///
2) Or use this generic method, in case the you only need to reset the property. It is suitable for any type of property.
/// <summary> /// Reset the property value for the specified theme for the whole application. /// </summary> /// <param name="themeName">Specified theme name.</param> /// <param name="propPath">Property path.</param> /// <returns>True' if the property is changed successfully. 'False' /// if the specified theme or property at the specified path are not found.</returns> private bool ResetProperty(string themeName, string propPath) { // Get theme by name. var theme = C1ThemeController.GetThemeByName(themeName, false); if (theme != null) { // Get the property at the specified path. var prop = theme.Children.GetItemByPath(propPath); if (prop != null) { // make property empty (null) prop.MakeEmpty(); return true; } } return false; }
3) Call this method at the beginning of the application before applying themes, for example:
SetFontProperty("Office2016Colorful", "BaseThemeProperties\\DefaultFont", SystemFonts.DefaultFont); // to set a new value or reset the property OR ResetProperty("Office2016Colorful", "BaseThemeProperties\\DefaultFont"); // to reset the property (set to null)
Similarly, you can create methods for other desired properties.
In case if you have any queries then please let us know.

This worked only partially for me with “Office2016Green”: the C1FlexGrid still had a custom font.
It seems this is a bug in the “Office2016Green” theme: The C1FlexGrid “Normal” style has a custom font “Calibri 11.25” (see screenshot). All other “Office2016…” themes don’t have this font, so I consider it a bug. C1, could you check it?
If it is intended: the code to reset the font is this:
ResetProperty("Office2016Green", "BaseThemeProperties\\DefaultFont");
ResetProperty("Office2016Green", "C1FlexGrid\\Styles\\Normal\\Font");
Best regards

Small update: “Office2016Green” defines a font not only in “C1FlexGrid\Styles\Normal”, but also in “C1FlexGrid\Styles\Fixed”.

Hello Wolfgang,
Thanks for the update. We will pass it to the devs.

Hello Wolfgang,
As per the developers, this is not a bug. As he remembers Office2016Green was created specifically for the FlexGrid from the request to make a one-to-one theme like MS Excel.
And the font of the cell data in MS Excel is “Calibre 11” by default, while the font of the other Excel UI (Ribbon, Input etc.) is more similar to “Segoe UI 9”.
Therefore, there is such a difference compared to other themes.

Hi Prabhat,
sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.
I understand your argument, but it is confusing that this is the only Office2016… theme with this behaviour.
Anyway, I have a workaround, so it is no issue for me.
Best regards
Wolfgang
