Common WPF Resource Dictionaries
Skinning a WPF application is as simple as adding an assembly reference (PresentationFramework.Aero) and xml config change. See below.
<Application.Resources> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <!-- --> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Aero;component/themes/Aero.NormalColor.xaml"/> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> </Application.Resources>
Other sources:
<ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Aero;component/themes/Aero.NormalColor.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Classic;component/themes/Classic.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Royale;component/themes/Royale.NormalColor.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Luna.Homestead;component/themes/Luna.Homestead.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Luna.Metallic;component/themes/Luna.Metallic.xaml"/> <ResourceDictionary Source="/PresentationFramework.Zune;component/themes/Zune.NormalColor.xaml"/>
