Usage
All palettes are available by static properties at the
PaletteManager class. You can get a list of all available palettes by the
Items property which provides a DisplayName and the name of the palette. I've used the lazy loading pattern to support a fast startup. If you wish to load all palettes at once use the
PreloadPalettes method. To get a palette by name use the
GetPalette method.
Be aware of compose the right version of xml file. To get an overview which version the custom palette is using, I've added a version column to the overview list.
Examples
Example code iterate through available palettes:
foreach (PaletteItem item in PaletteManager.Items)
{
ToolStripItem menuItem = skinsToolStripMenuItem.DropDownItems.Add(item.DisplayName, null, new EventHandler(setPalette));
menuItem.Tag = item.Name;
}
private void setPalette(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripItem menuItem = sender as ToolStripItem;
kryptonManager.GlobalPalette = PaletteManager.GetPalette(menuItem.Tag as string);
}
Palettes are accessible by static properties:
kryptonManager.GlobalPalette = PaletteManager.Chrome;
