Windows 10 OS themed browse background header colour

Posted by shuttleworth on 20-Nov-2015 04:59

Both Windows 7 & 8 display the browse header using the OS themed style which results in a light grey effect. This works for us as the look blends well with our application and more importantly the header remains a different colour to the white browse rows.

Windows 8

 

Under Windows 10 the default themed browse header is plain white which results in header and rows blending together.

Is there a way to change the background colour for an OS themed browse header without resorting to UseClassicBrowseHeader option?

OpenEdge can't modify the colors of themed elements like the browse header. There's no way to do it in the Windows Theme API. I think that your only option is to find a theme that has the look that you want. If you can't find one you could create or modify one, but I don't know how much work that is.
