I haven't try but it's worth spending a few minutes on it, I would create the CTL in LV2011 SP1 and une the "save for previous version".

Would have been too easy 😞

The only way I see to make it like that would be to recreate the theme in LabVIEW 2010 with external bitmap objects. Unfortunately it won't be as functional as the silver controls in various terms such scaling (bitmaps scale very badly) or transparency and click through functionality (a bitmap assigned to a control part will always catch all clicks and never allow a click to pass through anywhere to a lower layered part).

 

The silver controls are using special internal graphic objects that were added in LabVIEW 2011, so recreating silver controls with the same functionality in earlier LabVIEW versions is impossible.

Adding to Rolf's comments, if you do decide to go down that path. Look at the powerpoint decorations video in this link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ui/blog/2010/04/29/creating-quality-uis-with-ni-labview--devel...

Not completely related, but this could be potentially useful.
