Backstage tab area lost the style

Version: 11.1.0542

Hi,

I use CommonThemeName.Office2010Black style.

but i have problem with style inside


<ribbon:Ribbon.ApplicationMenu>
<ribbon:Backstage>
<ribbon:BackstageTab Header="Info">
<...>
<...>

for first opening File tab style works, but if i close file tab and open again it show without style, ribbon:Backstage tab area gets white background, there is no Office2010Black style.
referencing to my previous Thread the one of the reasons that i embedded

<ribbon:Backstage>

inside

<ribbon:ApplicationMenu>

was this style issue.

How do i get this work?

Hi Arthur,

We're not aware of any issues with themes on Backstage, as we haven't seen problems in any of our samples. So it could be something in your app's configuration that is causing it.

If you are seeing a problem, please make a new simple sample project that shows the issue and email it to us (reference this post). Make sure you rename the .zip file extension so it doesn't get spam blocked. Thanks.

Hello,

I believe I do have the same problem.
In the project I'm using Office2010Black theme. And have File menu enabled.
Backstage looses it's style after second attempts to open it.

Sending project files by email.

Thank you,
Diana

Hi Diana,

Thanks for the sample. I didn't see any problems when I opened Backstage several times though.

But I did notice you did this in your MainWindow_Loaded handler:

ThemeManager.SetTheme(this, CommonThemeName.Office2010Black.ToString());

That method is really only for testing and should not be used for production. For production (and in general) you should do this in your application startup before any Windows are loaded:

ThemeManager.CurrentTheme = CommonThemeName.Office2010Black.ToString();

Then if you need to change themes at run-time later, like if the user wants the blue theme, do this:

ThemeManager.CurrentTheme = CommonThemeName.Office2010Blue.ToString();

Maybe that will help solve the problem you are seeing.

Hi,

Using ThemeManager.CurrentTheme for setting the theme resolved my problem.

Thank you very much,
Diana
