Welcome to the documentation for Xceed Pro Themes for WPF. This product provides nine flawless WPF themes that can be used to style any official Microsoft .NET WPF control and its child items, including Microsoft’s datagrid and datepicker controls (only available in the .NET 4 build). All properties behave as you’d expect, so a control will be properly shaded when you set its color, for example. And because implicit styles are supported, as little as a couple of lines of XAML code are needed to apply beautiful, uniform styles to any WPF application. The themes were meticulously created by our experienced WPF technical design and graphic artist teams.

The product’s Glass theme faithfully reproduces the kinds of colors, translucency, and animation that lend a modern look and feel to the interfaces found in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, helping end-users focus on the task at hand, rather than on the application and its controls. Striking matching brushes that can be applied to your own controls are also included, so they can fit seamlessly into the theme.

The Media theme lets you apply the pleasing styles found in the popular Windows Media Player application. Also included is a custom button that resembles the rounded ones found in Windows Media Player.

The Metro theme, with light and dark accent color support.

A vibrant theme inspired by Windows 7 lets you create apps that fit well into Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system.

A clean and professional Windows 10 theme, your users will definitely notice your app looks modern and high quality.

The included Office 2007 themes (blue, black, and silver) let you create applications with a more traditional but nevertheless modern look that will fit in with past, present, and future operating systems.

Finally, the Live Explorer theme from Xceed’s datagrid demo gives your apps a unique style that is darker and more sophisticated, with a touch of color, and unlike the typical Microsoft OS / application themes.

Complete documentation, a resource center, and a Theme Explorer are provided.

The product is available through a subscription that delivers much more than just a perpetual license for versions received during the subscription. You also get a year of great services: expert priority support and access to new versions, new features, new themes, the styling we provide of future WPF controls that Microsoft officially releases, and bug fixes. Additional years can be added at a discounted price at the time of purchase or before the subscription expires; a new subscription is required after it has expired. Subscriptions are available for the set of themes, or for Xceed Ultimate Suite or Xceed Business Suite for WPF, which both include it. Choosing the Blueprint subscription adds the full C# and XAML source, which is clean and readable, unlike the raw, untidy output produced by Expression Blend.
