How to: Set the ToolStrip Renderer for an Application
You can customize the appearance of your xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls individually or for all the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip controls in your application.
Example
The following code example demonstrates how to selectively apply a custom renderer to a xref:System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip control and a xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip control.
To use this code example, compile and run the application, and then select the scope of the custom rending from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox control. Click Apply to set the renderer.
To see custom menu item rendering, select the xref:System.Windows.Forms.MenuStrip option from the xref:System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox control, click Apply, and then open the File menu item.
