Understandable. I have been there and done that too and completely understand the frustration involved. You also were not obligated to update with each change and could stick with what works for you as well. OTOH, because I worked with the controls I was able to provide feedback to Emerson and he was kind enough to work with my enhancement requests and bug reports to improve the controls. It is not always fun to be on the cutting edge, but the opportunity to contribute to the project in that manner was quite rewarding. Emerson was quite responsive to my emails. He loves knowing people are using the controls and considers all the feedback. He is also open to code suggestions and contributions to the project. And he is not alone, most of the project managers are open to help offered. At this point most of the Themed Controls are solid and probably won't change all that much from an implementation perspective. The ones in earlier stages (like the Ribbon control) are documented as being in that state.

I will give them another look see sometime. The other problem is they are, Or were still beta when I tried and I didn't fancy having to recode if something changed. I do however thing they were 2003 looking. Not that its bad but now I would look for 2007 or 2010 office look.
