Title: How can I use current Music Bee Skin to theme new windows from plugins?
Post by: mythichelm on January 07, 2017, 06:00:41 PM

I'm working on a plugin that adds new windows, but the window is using the default skin for Windows Forms. How can I make the windows use the same style as the current Music Bee skin?

by "add new windows" do you mean panels that show in the main application or do you mean a standalone window?

I assume its the later, so you can use:
Setting_GetSkinElementColor(0, ColorComponent.Background)

use Color.FromArgb() to convert the integer value to a color

I was asking about a standalone window. That was exactly what I was looking for, Thanks!

My code:
this.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(api.Setting_GetSkinElementColour(
                MusicBeePlugin.Plugin.SkinElement.SkinInputPanel,
                MusicBeePlugin.Plugin.ElementState.ElementStateDefault,
                MusicBeePlugin.Plugin.ElementComponent.ComponentForeground));
