Customizing new themes in WPF

[marc_]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possbile to do the same as http://www.stimulsoft.com/fr/news/custo ... ilverlight with the Report Designer WPF.

My goal is to use the report designer embedded in a WPF application. I want to customize the designer with the chart of color of my Theme. In order to do that, I was thinking to directly modify the palette of an existing style (e.g. office2013)

Is it possible to do this ? if yes, do I need the source code from Stimulsoft (the license with code soure) to do this ? or can I alreay do this with the trial version.

Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Marc,

Thank you for the questions.

By purchasing the source code you can change the theme as you like by editing the required XAML files.
In compare with Silverlight you should slightly change more resources because themes are different in WPF and Silverlight.

In our WPF product a theme are implemented as follows:
The theme Office 2013 is in a separate assembly Stimulsoft.Report.Wpf.Office2013Theme.dll
for each group of controls we made a XAML file (for example Menu.xaml) and for each of them created the file with static resources (for example ResourcesMenu.xaml), that you will need to modify in order to change the color palette.

Please let us know if you have additional questions.
Thank you.

Hey Andrew,

I have downloaded the last version, you made some improvements on the style Office2013.
How can I add my own Styles like OrangeDarkGray.xaml, but I want PurpleDarkGray.xaml for example ?

Thank you in advance.
Looking forward to your reply.

It is possible only from source code.
