  Hello Ramya,
  
  You can set theme on the gauge using the StyleManager.Theme attachable property. Also note that using  the theme requires the reference to the appropriate assembly (Telerik.Windows.Themes.Metro.dll) in your project. The sample code is below.
  

  <UserControl x:Class="GaugeTest.Gauge"

      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

      xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

      mc:Ignorable="d"

      d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">

      <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">

          <telerik:RadGauge telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Metro">

              <telerik:RadialGauge>

                  <telerik:RadialScale>

                      <telerik:Needle Value="75" />

                  </telerik:RadialScale>

              </telerik:RadialGauge>

          </telerik:RadGauge>

      </Grid>

  </UserControl>

  Hi Ramya,
  
  It is very complicated and it is hard to reproduce the problem without your solution. Could you, please, provide us with a small sample solution which reproduces the problem with the Metro theme?
