  Hello Florin,
  
  I believe you are referring to RadComboBox control in Metro theme:
  
  

  <telerik:RadComboBox x:Name="myCombo" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro" />

  
  
  Kind regards,

  This has no effect on a RadDropDownButton - in your sample is a standard combobox
  <telerik:RadDropDownButton telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro"
  
  Please advice.
  
  thank you.

  Hi,
  
  The screenshot you posted depicts a look that is easily doable with s simple RadComboBox. Is there any specific reason not to use a RadComboBox in your scenario?
  
  If you are using a RadDropDownButton together with an ItemsControl as DropDownContent, you will need a way to close the button when an item has been selected. Furthermore, to customize the RadDropDownButton , you will need to modify the RadDropDownButtonStyle for Metro theme and change the brushes which are applied to each of its visual states. All this, just to resemble a RadComboBox.
  
  Could you share more details on your scenario? Also, please share the XAML mark-up that you use and that you wish to modify.
