I'm interested in skinning this DBGrid too. If I set it in the Skinmanager.ThirdParty-property as Grid, only the scrollbars and the free place in the grid without records (if available) will be skinned.
Setting some Grid-properties to the skin-colors is possible at runtime but not for all (e. g. the indicator).
As attachment you can see an image with three dbgrids, skinned with “Office 2007 blue” from the top: TsDBGrid (OK), TSMDBGrid (partly OK), TNextDBGrid (partly OK). The two last were set as grid in the ThirdParty-List.
