ADD. Visual Style Builder - add "Recently opened" section in the File menu Implemented in the UI for WinForms R2 2018 (version 2018.2.515) release.
VisualStyleBuilder - does not load all states if the theme is loaded from XML files.
Apply a color setting to RadApplicationMenu and save the theme. Then unload theme, load it again and reset the control styles of RadApplicationMenu through the context menu. Save the theme, unload it and then load it again. You will notice that the style of the RadApplicationMenu is actually not reset.
If you load a layout where there are horizontal splitters, you will notice that their theme is not correct.
When VSB need to save its layout in an xml file, this file should be placed in the directory of the user who is currently logged in.
Currenty, VSB does not support GIF images
Currently there is no way to export theme images as Bitmap (or any other image type). Resolution: In Q2 2014 SP1 we introduced feature to export images from Visual Style Builder. The issue is the same like ADD. Visual Style Builder - add ability to export base64 strings to images (export image option in the context menu of all Image items).

I'm going to lump this into one Feedback item, but perhaps it should be broken up. I took some notes while attempting (and never successfully) using the manual merge dialog in VSB. This seems really important for one main reason: many people base their themes off of your Built-In themes. When a new release of UI for WinForms comes out, with a new control like the CollapsiblePanel, it's tricky to get that added to your existing older theme (which is the scenario I'm dealing with right now). I've ordered these items in the order of importance (at least to me =] ). I think the main thing is the on-screen help and terminology used to describe the items on the screen being confusing and inconsistent, but I do believe there are some bugs and/or missing features to make it functional. - The text in the merge dialog refers to a "Destination" and a "Source" theme everywhere except on the DataGrid column which refers to "Existing" and "Loaded". If I have a theme open (let's say MyOldTheme.tssp), and then I open another theme (TelerikMetroBlue.tssp) it triggers this dialog to open. Which theme in that case, is the Source/Existing/Destination/Loaded? I think this should be clarified by making it clear which is the source and destination and sticking with that terminology, or call it something like "Item Loaded" and "Item Loading". Also, in which order should I open these two themes if my end result is to get one control or a set of repos merged into MyOldTheme.tssp from TelerikMetroBlue.tssp - Everything is detected as a conflict. Real conflict detection should exist where it only shows items that are conflicting (i.e. the item exists in both files but there's a change). You can open a file, and then open that SAME exact file and every repo item is red and considered "conflicting". - You show a comparison grid, but I can't see any way to resolve the conflicts it finds. It doesn't let me choose which value I want, the source or destination. - There's a lot of text describing how to deal with the conflicts on this screen, but after reading it I was more confused than I was before. I think this needs a lot of clarification, and should be written better. - The "Existing" and "Loaded" columns in the grid have their names cut-off, don't support column resizing, and don't have a tool tip. The only way I could see that they were called "Existing" and "Loaded" was by going to the column chooser, and removing the columns (since if they're added to the grid, they don't show up in the Col Chooser) - I think the "Existing" and "Loaded" columns should be immediately next to each other for easier visual comparison of the two. By default there seems to be a random text field thrown in between them (they can be manually re-positioned, though) - In the column chooser there's a IsSelected column I can add - does that have something to do with the merging? What does "IsSelected" represent? Choosing the item from the item already loaded, or the item I'm currently loading? It doesnn't seem to do anything, but I could be wrong.
In the repo editor, the field has the initial focus, but cannot be refocused by using the TAB key on the keyboard. In addition to that, the order for tabbing seems to be incorrect. And as a small side-note, the tab order in the Settings dialog seems good except the TAB key focuses on Cancel before the OK button. Typical dialogs will focus on OK and Cancel will be the last item. It seems unnatural to focus on Cancel before OK.
RadPanel should have a Disabled state in Visual Style Builder
There are some specific cases where VSB tells the user that there is a property set, but at the same time actually this property is set to a null value. As a result, the user can't see the 'applied' setting netiher in the VSB preview, nor in his/her project.
Currently there are many cases where there is too much wasted space. The property grids sizes are fixed and they do not fill the available space in the most optimal way.
Add the ability to style RadCarousel via Visual Style Builder.
Open Package Windows7.tssp - RadPageView - RadPageViewStripElement - StripViewContainer - StripViewButtonsPanel - LeftScroll. Edit Repository Item StripLeftArrow. Click inside Image property to highlight - Unhandled Exception.
As suggested on the Silverlight PIT's, MAC like themes are very catching and adding a default theme for all controls with this style will be helpfull for developing app's with that desired look
FIX. Visual Style Builder - the color picker should keep the previously added Custom colors after reopening the form and continue adding to the available spots, instead overriding the existing custom colors.
In the winforms visual style builder app, under View > Settings > Design View, unchecking "snap to grid" doesn't prevent control resizing from snapping to grid. It still forces it to increment/decrement the sizes by 10 pixels based on the Grid Minor Tick settings. Workaround: set grid minor tick size to 1px.
