How to set theme to Aero

Hi Keith,

If you can please put together a small sample project that reproduces your issue and email it over then we can take a closer look. Be sure to remove any executables or change the extension of the zip file to ensure it gets past our email filters.

Hi,

I've managed to find the problem. It comes to down to where you place the following line: If you put it before the InitializeComponent call in the MainWindow constructor (or in OnStartup override in App.xaml.cs) then it works. Put it after InitializeComponent and it fails to set the Aero theme (other themes work OK).

If you don't set AreNativeThemesEnabled at all then it fails to set the Aero theme.

If you don't set AreNativeThemesEnabled but call ThemesOfficeThemeCatalogRegistrar.Register before InitializeComponent then it works. Call ThemesOfficeThemeCatalogRegistrar.Register after InitializeComponent and it fails.

Obviously the workaround here is easy; I can just set AreNativeThemesEnabled earlier.

Regards,
Keith

Hi Keith,

I'm a little unclear about all the cases you are referring to. But please refer to our Sample Browser and documentation for the best way to configure the application-wide themes (which should be done in OnStartup of your Application).
