I have modified the popular Vista theme, which is just like the Office 2007 "Blue" theme, and created a version that is just like the Vista/Office 2007 "Black" theme.

Simply reference the Gizmox.WebGUI.Themes.Black.dll file that is in the bin folder in your project and add the theme to your Web.config file:

<Themes Selected="Black">
<Theme Name="Black" Assembly="Gizmox.WebGUI.Themes.Black" />
</Themes>

One suggestion I would like to make is to set the background color of your forms and splitters to #535353, as they don't seem to inherit them from the WindowBody variable in the Flavors.xml file.

Enjoy!
