Thanks for the info. I wasn't aware RichEdit is not theme aware.

However, that is not the problem, as even if I create two views which
are just plain windows derived from CWindowImpl, the splitter is still
not themed.

I have created a test project with sample screenshots showing what I
see (in case there is something funny with my system) and what I'm
after (taken from the CP article).
