Custom Theme

[PiP]

Hello,

I am attempting to tidy up / make complete a first attempt at setting a custom theme for visio.  I believe that attempt started with Whisp (Wisp), and then applied custom colours via the UI.

A few questions a night of reading forums has not fixed:
How do I (programmatically?) also set theme values such as legacy theme items FillColor, FillColor2?
How do I (programmatically?) change the listed / associated quickstyles: 100, 101, 102, are ok, but 103 appears to be some arbitrary palette item (Refined Variant 4)
The 'tool tips' associated with hovering the mouse of the quickstyle icons is wrong - possibly an artefact of the original whisp theme - can they be corrected?


Screenshot attached - was attempting to show the tooltip issue but that has not come through with the grab.

Thanks,

PiP

I dont use themes, most part of my diagrams are black-white

Did you read David J Parker article ?

Yes I did thanks Surrogate, and it is where I lifted the shapes that formed the screen shot in the original post. 

I'll take a closer look at the other links, but my first scan of them doesn't help address the items I'm looking to fix unless I overlooked something.

2 years ago was same question in answers.microsoft.com forum there you can find hyperlinks collection! May be it can help

Thanks again Surrogate - yes, have looked into all the links provided in that post, but still don't have an answer that I am looking for - you are correct though, the original post in that forum is pretty much asking the same question (in a more general sense).

Specifically for me I have masters / shapes that use the following shapesheet formulas:

=THEMEGUARD(THEMEVAL("FillColor"))

and

=THEMEGUARD(THEMEVAL("FillColor2"))

I know I can just change the shapesheet entry to something else, but I am keen to understand how do I define the RGB for FillColor, FillColor2 (appreciating that they are possibly deprecated theme features)?

Try change cell view option in Design tab at ribbon to Value

ShapeSheet Contextual Tab
Apart from ShapeSheet Formula AutoComplete, the ShapeSheet has gotten a facelift thanks to the Fluent UI – all ShapeSheet related commands are now in one place. Take a look at the ShapeSheet contextual tab below.

Button	Functionality
Formulas	Toggle the "formula" view of the ShapeSheet – all cell formulas are shown.
Values	Toggle the "value" view of the ShapeSheet – all cell results are shown.

That is not really what I am trying to achieve thanks Surrogate.  What I am looking for is the UI access to (if it exists, I suspect not), or a vb code snippen that allows me to set the Fillcolor, fillcolor2 theme properties, i.e. in pseudocode something like

Theme.setThemeColor("FillColor").RGB = RGB(x,y,z)

Any ideas around that?

Any ideas around that?

I think information about which themes used in document must stored in xml format.
Just open vsdx-file with 7-zip application

In this archive you can find forlder named theme, it contain xml files which describe each
theme which apply in this document.
But i haven't idea how extract info from these xml-files 

UPDATED

Thanks Surrogate - will have a look and see if I can discern anything useful and report back.
