We now have a custom renderer that draws in to Office 2007 style and is used for the Blue, Silver and Black built in palettes.
It draws the MenuStrip, ToolStrip, StatusStip and ContextMenuStrip appropriately. Here is a simple example of the Blue scheme with a menu showing.
The renderer is not using fixed colors, they are being pulled in from the palette and so you can customize the colors using the ToolMenuStatus properties of the KryptonPalette. Not many people will need to make use of this ability but it is there if you need it.
Here I have updated three colors in order to get my highlighted menu items in a shade of purple instead of the usual yellow. Not sure it will catch on though!
Right, I am off on a two week vacation to Europe and so so this will be my last post for a little while. But once I get back it will be onto the final stage, adding the custom chrome.

You need to assign the new Palette to the KryptonManager.GlobalPalette property. You can do this by dragging the KryptonManager onto the Form and then use the design time properties.
