[Bug]: KryptonCustomPaletteBase, Unable to Set / Change the colour table (help to migrate to v90.)

[lesandrog]

In version 85, I was using a KryptonCustomPaletteBase with BasePaletteMode = Office2010Silver, with some modifications.

But I'm not able to migrate to v90.

I must be doing something wrong.

[lesandrog]

Can anyone help me?

Hi @lesandrog

The KryptonCustomPaletteBase has gone through a significant overhaul in V90. You may need to set the BasePaletteType located under BasePalette, see https://github.com/Krypton-Suite/Standard-Toolkit?tab=readme-ov-file#v9000-2024-11-12---build-2411---november-2024 for breaking changes.

Hi @PWagner1

When I add the KryptonManager and set GlobalCustomPalette = KryptonCustomPaletteBase1.
I set in KryptonCustomPaletteBase1.BasePaletteType = Office2010

The colors are still Microsoft 365 - Blue.

In BasePaletteType, should there be more options (Office 2010 - Silver, Office 2010 - White)?

@Smurf-IV ??

No it BaseRenderMode, and this has nothing to do with the colours, as they are defined in the actual XML.

The colors are still Microsoft 365 - Blue.

The default colours come from the BasePalette's ColourTable:

(Defined in the XML? @PWagner1 )
And then are overridden by the extra colours as defined in the actual custom palettes XML or defined in the designer

hi, @PWagner1 and @Smurf-IV

So, from what I understand, to use KryptonCustomPaletteBase1 with the Office 2010 - Silver colors and some customizations (or if you want to customize another theme), I will have to import a complete XML with all the parameters.

In my humble opinion, it is not very practical.
Or I don't know how to use it.

Agreed!
The colour Table stuff does not appear to change anymore like it used to in the V8# code base:

@lesandrog Can you open your V80 xml and just change the version number to 20.
Does this then work as expected ?

[lesandrog]

@Smurf-IV , I had already done this test of changing v19 to v20. The result is partial, the colors that are in the custom xml are loaded correctly, but items that are not present in the xml continue with the default Microsoft365blue colors.

In Palette Designer v85, creating a new one with BasePaletteMode, the theme colors were loaded. In v90 using BaseRenderMode the colors remain the same as 365blue.
.

When importing a custom XML, only the custom items are changed, the other items continue with the default theme colors, microsoft365blue.
.

The best result was to export an xml after using the "Populate from base" function in a v85 project and then use it in v90.
This way all the colors of the BasePalettemode are exported.
I am using the Office2010silver theme, but it is the same for other themes.
.

One disadvantage of using the "Populate from Base" function in a v85 project is that in some themes, some items are not populated, such as ToolMenuStatus. Manual editing is required.
