For those interested, I went through the color scheme of VS.NET 2005 creating
a class derived from ProfessionalColorTable.
You can write the following code to get the 'Whidbey' look and feel:
WhidbeyColorTable whidbeyColorTable = new WhidbeyColorTable(); // custom
class derived from ProfessionalColorTable.
ToolStripProfessionalRendered toolStripProfessionalRendered = new
ToolStripProfessionalRendered(whidbeyColorTable);
menuStrip.Renderer = toolStripProfessionalRendered;
If anyone is interested in my WhidbeyColorTable class, let me know.
