Native Controls
Actipro Themes includes styles and templates for all native WPF controls that have been given a more modernized appearance, and mesh perfectly with Actipro's custom control products.
Visual Consistency
Actipro Themes uses the same common asset (brush, thickness, etc.) pool for its native WPF control styles and custom control styles. Thus no matter which native or Actipro controls you use together, the appearance will consistently look great.
The screenshot above shows a combination of some Actipro-themed native WPF controls, and Actipro products such as Docking/MDI and PropertyGrid. Notice how everything has an attractive styling that meshes well together.
Enhanced Styles and Templates
In most cases such as scrollbars and buttons, we’ve re-created but kept the default control appearance for each system theme. However in some other cases, such as with menus, toolbars, and list highlights we’ve reimagined their appearance with more modernized designs.
You've never seen WPF's native controls look so good.
Office Themes
Complete themes for each of the three official Office color schemes are included with Actipro Themes and provide you with the option to easily make your own applications look just like an Office application.
Usage
Actipro's styles/templates for native WPF controls are not applied by default In this scenario, we've designed our styles for each native control to be usable via a simple resource key reference. This allows you to pick and choose which native controls should receive our enhanced theming.
Hovever most developers will want to activate app-wide usage of the native WPF control styles/templates instead, via a single property setting on our theme manager.
