The Office2010Silver skin applies an incorrect color of the shadow to the Ribbon contextual tab labels that are painted on the Windows Aero Glass frame

created 13 years ago

Blue and Black skins show the crisp Ribbon context caption, while Silver one is blurry (hard to read). Please see the attachment.

    Hello Robert,
    Thank you for your message.
    I have tried to reproduce the issue you described with our RibbonNotepadDemo (…\Developer Express.VCL\ExpressBars\Demos\Delphi\RibbonNotepadDemo), but failed.
    Could you please provide me with step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce your problem and I will try to find an acceptable solution for you.
    Thanks,
    Valdemar

      I have the same problem with the skins that use a white font for the context tab caption.

      The attached screenshot compares the context tabs of Word 2010 using the Silver skin and the DevExpress RibbonNotepasDemo using the "Office 2010 Silver" skin.

      Both are on a white background.

      As you can see the DevExpress context tab caption is very hard to read.
