When the OutlookBar is minimized during run-time change of themes the text set to item's header overlaps the minimizing toggle button. You can work this around by creating a custom control that derives from RadOutlookBar and override its OnApplyTemplate() method. Inside the method call the protected VisualStateChanged() method. public class CustomOutlookBar : RadOutlookBar { public override void OnApplyTemplate() { base.OnApplyTemplate(); this.ChangeVisualState(false); } } Available in the R1 2017 SP1 Release.
