I have a WPF application (.NET 3.0, VS2008) that displays data in a tab control. Custom colors are required on virtually all controls in this application : basically white foreground and green background. My problem is that when an XP theme (say Luna) is active, it is automatically applied to render controls so that my white text is written on ... a white background. For instance on the active tab item header : <img src="https://lh6.ggpht.com/_dR4_IBKyRV0/Sf7kTth9ZaI/AAAAAAAAAD8/sUrspncvXek/s800/Sigp3d-WPF-Luna.png" alt="Unreadable tab item header"> I have tried : <ul> <li>to remove the embedded manifest file from the generated application (in the project properties) : useless.</li> <li>to force the use of the Windows Classic theme in the application resources : <pre><code><ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Classic;V3.0.0.0;31bf3856ad364e35;component/themes/classic.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </code></pre></li> </ul> This last attempt worked great for all controls, except the tab control which still displays as above. Any idea ? Update : I am suspecting this behaviour is due to the custom style I have to apply to the tab control : <pre><code><Window.Resources> <Style x:Key="Custom"> <Setter Property="Control.Background" Value="#FF47C7C8" /> <Setter Property="Control.Foreground" Value="White" /> </Style> <Style TargetType="TabControl" BasedOn="{StaticResource Custom}" /> </Window.Resources> </code></pre> So how can I get the classic theme with custom colors ?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
