I have a question regarding a question:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/112211/changing-windows-ribbon-framework-background-color.html
(Changing Windows Ribbon Framework background color no longer works in Windows 10.)
When does this get fixed? I can confirm it is still an issue. It's been known to be broken quite some time.

Although after the code execute the global background color doesn't change, I’m not sure whether It‘s the correct approach to reproduce or not. Could you please show a minimal, reproducible sample without private information?

I can't seem to attach a zip file with the full project.
To reproduce: Download the "SimpleRibbon" MSDN sample:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=9620The apply the sample code snippet from this page:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/windowsribbon/ribbon-colorInsert the snippet at RibbonFrameWork.cpp after "g_pFramework->LoadUI" line.
Try to change the colours.The aim here is to implement "Dark mode".
Thanks!
