To reproduce: - Add a ribbon bar to a blank form and set the theme to Office2013Light - Disable the title bar buttons: this.radRibbonBar1.MaximizeButton = false; this.radRibbonBar1.MinimizeButton = false; this.radRibbonBar1.CloseButton = false; - The buttons are still visible when the backstage view button is clicked. Workaround: radRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.BackstageElement.TitleBarElement.CloseButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden; radRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.BackstageElement.TitleBarElement.MaximizeButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden; radRibbonBar1.BackstageControl.BackstageElement.TitleBarElement.MinimizeButton.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden;
