I was very unpleasantly surprised when I found out that the grid titles for a Developer Express cxGrid do not match the grid titles for other grids.

What's more, I think they are awfully ugly (looking like buttons)

I changed the code in acLFPainter in TcxACLookAndFeelPainter.DrawHeader slightly:

CODE

Section := {$IFDEF ALTHEADER} s_MainMenu {$ELSE} s_ColHeader {$ENDIF};
AOnDrawBackground := nil;

TmpBmp := CreateBmp24(WidthOf(ABounds), HeightOf(ABounds));
i := PaintSection(TmpBmp, Section, s_Button, State, DefaultManager, ABounds.TopLeft, DefaultManager.GetGlobalColor);
BitBlt(ACanvas.Handle, ABounds.Left, ABounds.Top, TmpBmp.Width, TmpBmp.Height, TmpBmp.Canvas.Handle, 0, 0, SRCCOPY);
FreeAndnil(TmpBmp);

Note that the original code did not use the value from the Section variable in the PaintSection call, but used the string s_ColHeader. Please correct that in the next release, otherwise setting the Section variable has no function.

The alternative header skin s_MainMenu works quite well with almost all of the skins. But you may have a better section that I can use, to make it even better compatible with the standard grid headers.

Please, change the code in this way, just to keep me happy

This problem exists because the Sand skin have not a section for headers drawing (COLHEADER).
I think, maybe will be better just define this section in skin?

PS. Could you show a screenshot, what you have now?

Adding that section would certainly do the trick. Could you implement that?

The screenshot was already in the first part of this topic, together with a test project.

I have updated this skin. Try it, please.

Skin for version 6 is attached Most of the times it looks great! There are still some minor issues. I'll come back to that next week. Thank you for your quick solution!

I have included a new picture, to show you the problems in AC 6.68:

Clockwise I find the following issues:

1. The headers of a standard TDBGrid look like clickable buttons. But they are not clickable.
2. The box around the TsDBGrid is missing in first instance. Once focused, the box appears again.
3. The triangular indicator in a TsDBGrid is way too small.
4. The column headers of a TcxGrid are clickable, but appear as if they are not.
5. There is a separator-line missing between the headers and the “GroupByBox” of a TcxGrid.

So, really the only grid that's completely correct is the TwwDBGrid
