I'm new to Infra WPF Controls coming from Windows Form I usually modify themes in Appstylist. How do I modify the default Metro Theme of Infra WPF controls 2012? Is there a document explaining the different parts of the ribbon or any control having a metro theme? Thank You
Hello Rodney,
Thank you for your post. I have been researching your issue. In order to change the Theme of the XamRibbon you have to add a resource dictionary to your project. For the issue you have described I have created and attached a small sample for you. Please find the attached sample and do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further issues. On the following link you can find online documentation for any of the Infragistics WPF controls: http://help.infragistics.com/NetAdvantage/WPF/2012.1/CLR4.0/ .
Thank you for your reply. Besides the default colour of the Metro Theme, I want to further customize the ribbon. Let’s say when the ribbon is set to theme metro I want to change “application menu” colour default is orange or the blue colour behind the tabs. Not just the xamribbon, I also want to customize other Infragistics WPF control having a theme metro.
Most of the controls I tried having the Metro theme look has this blue color. (encircled big) I want to change it because it does not goes the look I want. I choose metro theme because of it flat look (like in Windows Forms "Use Flat").
Thanks.
I have modified the previous sample so that it implements the behavior you have mentioned. In order to further customize the colors of the Metro Theme the way you want you can use a ResourceWasher. You can find a sample in the WPF Sample Browser. The Sample Browser is located in the Start Menu on your computer, in the Infragistics folder. The sample I was talking about is named “Creating Custom Themes for XamRibbon”. There you can find samples how to modify the controls you want.
I am just checking your progress on the issue. If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to ask.
Sorry for the late reply. Yup. for now this solved our problem. Is there a plan to create a appstylist application for WPF?
