Create and Customize a Palette

Create a palette instance and use the SetColor method to set color values to palette colors. The code snippet below changes the SelectionBackground and Foreground palette colors:

C#

var mypalette = new ThemePalette("CustomPalette");
mypalette.SetColor(“SelectionBackground”, Colors.Red);
mypalette.SetColor(“Foreground”, Colors.Black);

VB.NET

Dim mypalette = New ThemePalette("CustomPalette")
mypalette.SetColor(SelectionBackground, Colors.Red)
mypalette.SetColor(Foreground, Colors.Black)

Create a Theme with the Palette

C#

var customtheme = Theme.CreateTheme(mypalette, Theme.Office2016ColorfulSE);

VB.NET

Dim customtheme = Theme.CreateTheme(mypalette, Theme.Office2016ColorfulSE)
