Did you read my reply to Luc at all?

SystemColors contain only system colors. They're used for theme Windows, and this set of colors have been there since Windows 3.0. Themes and visual styles however, are two completly different things, and many of the system colors aren't even used when a visual style is applied. Most of the visual style consists of images but some elements are built such as the menus and toolbars used (for the first time) in Office 2003, are drawn using a color scheme. A visual style, like the default one in Windows XP, can come with many color schemes. These color schemes are NOT editable by the user, wich the system colors are. These elements seems to be built into Windows, or more likely, into .NET, so that we can build beautifully looking applications. To make my application even more beautiful I want to use some of the colors from the color scheme elsewhere, and so I need to obtain them somehow. As i said, this can be done through the registry, but this is somehow complicated, or finding the applied visual style and reading the source files -- wich would be a stupid way of solving this. Many of Microsofts own applications seems to be using these color schemes, so I'm still wondering if they ar obtainable through .NET (preferably) or through APIs?

And once again, I'm specificly looking for the colors used in the gradiend to the left in the menus. These colors are NOT present in the SystemColors class. Prove me otherwise if I'm wrong, don't just say they are, becouse I can't find them, and they do not seem to be documented by Microsoft.
