WPF Themes
Folks, I've been looking for some free WPF themes and so far all I can find are the 7 in the WPF Toolkit (BureauBlack, ShinkyRed, etc). They seem to have some weird defects and there are lots of blog comments about that. The Windows supplied themes are rather underwhelming in their variety. Is anyone here using some satisfactory WPF themes that I can get a copy of and try them out? Also, is there a more elegant way to change themes at runtime besides clearing the App Resources.MergedDictionaries and adding the theme to it? Cheers, Greg K

Re: WPF Themes
Hi Greg, I knew there were some I was missing. Just looked in my source repository. Re-uxables and nukeation were what I was thinking of. There are some reuxable themes in WPF toolkit on codeplex, and nukeation ones are available here. http://www.nukeation.com/free.aspx Also some discussion on stack overflow. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/260098/any-free-wpf-themes Grant On Jun 2, 2013 10:33 AM, "Greg Keogh" wrote: > http://wpfthemes.codeplex.com/ is what I was thinking of.. >> > It appears that they may already be the ones your using.. > > Yes, these are the ones that are flawed with strange effects like white > text on a pale orange background and GroupBox looking weird. > > Greg >
