Carbon Look

The library has a built-in "Carbon" application look. All basic GUI elements, such as menus, toolbars, and docking panes, are drawn with a dark "carbon-style" theme, so the user can concentrate their look on the application view. You can change the look on the fly.

Carbon theme:

Sample code:

// Application class is derived from CBCGPWinApp
CMyApp::CMyApp()
{
    // Enable "Carbon" look:
    SetVisualTheme(
        BCGP_VISUAL_THEME_CARBON);
}
