  I copied a form to another project and lost the colors on the tabs (see attached). I can’t find where those colors/theme is coming from or where to set it. It should be the blueish color and not the white/blank colors.

  Hello,

  Please use the following line of code:
  
  fpSpread1.DefaultSkin = FarPoint.Win.Spread.DefaultSpreadSkins.Office2007;

  Thanks,

  DefaultSkin is not a property, but Skin is. I went ahead and set it in the designer view to Office2007 (it was set to Default). However, during runtime, the tabs and controls are still white.

  Version 11

  When using the designer, I can set the theme and it changes. But it’s all white at runtime.

  Thank you, I tried that and it’s still white when running. I also set the skin during design time using the “edit skin” option and it looks good in the designer but still appears white at runtime.

  It’s okay, we’ll just keep it white for now. It’s just weird that nothing is working.

  This seems to have resolved the issue

  private void spreadPlan_Paint(Object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
  
  {
  
  spreadPlan.Skin = DefaultSpreadSkins.Office2007;
  
  }
