5 years ago Which Windows version are you using?
As far as I know colorizing the ribbon background is no longer supported on Windows 10, but recent versions do have a dark mode for the ribbon, for which we added support in V2.7.

5 years ago Windows 10 Version 1903. I'll try the latest ribbonFramework and see where that gets me. Thanks

5 years ago I am using the latest version. I just didn't know it. I can see DarkMode and how it works. Presumably, darkmode will only work for windows versions above a certain number. Do you know what version no that is?

Windows 10 1809

No.
I have an app for which I change the colors of the ribbon to match whichever form style is selected.
The background is meant to be dark for dark styles with a light font. When I opened the app a few weeks ago this seemed to work fine.
I opened it yesterday and the ribbon background color now shows as light with dark styles. Nothing I do can get it to set it as dark. I have installed the latest version of RibbonFramework to see if that makes any difference. It doesn't.
I have tested it in ribbon designer. For example, Hue: 160, Sat: 0, Brightness: 36 should produce a dark slate background. It is now producing a very light green color.
As I have only recently updated RibbonFramework,, it would seem the problem cannot be to do with changes to that. Is there some issue with Windows itself and a recent Windows Update?
