How to: Set the ToolStrip Renderer at Run Time
You can customize the appearance of your xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control by creating a custom ProfessionalColorTable class.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to create a custom ProfessionalColorTable class. This class defines gradients for a xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip and a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control.
To use this code example, compile and run the application, and then click Change Colors to apply the gradients defined in the custom ProfessionalColorTable class.
