Changing the Look of MapInfo Pro?
Many of our partners produce applications on top of Pro that take over the user interface to simplify or customize what is presented to their users. In some cases the user does not even need to know they are running Pro. In fact sometimes a partner wants to 'rebrand' Pro so it looks like a custom application.
There can be many facets to this (typically using a runtime license of Pro) such as changing the titlebar, backstage tab name, customizing the ribbon and what windows are shown etc. We have a sample app that comes with MapBasic that shows how to do much of this called SAMPLES\RIBBONINTERFACE\DotNet\RuntimeRebranding.
One little known part of it is that you can actually change the style of Pro using a skin like capability by providing your own custom MapInfoProStyle.xml style file. Simple edit it and put it under the Styles Folder below where Pro is installed. Be sure to change the "OverrideDefaultStyle" tag to true.
Here is an example screen shot from the sample using some orange colors:
