  Hi,
  
  How do we set the backstage icon size in the silverlight control? I know there is a thread for this on the WPF control but it will not work for silverlight.

  Hello B ,

   I hope you use RadRibbonView (instead of RadRibbonBar) where the Styles and Templates are smaller,easy to maintain and easy to extract from Blend. I prepared a project that demonstrates how to edit the template of the RadRibbonBackStageItems:
  

  <StackPanel x:Name="ContentPanel" Margin="20 10" Orientation="Horizontal">

                      <Image x:Name="Image" MaxWidth="48" MaxHeight="48" Margin="0 0 5 0" Source="{TemplateBinding Icon}" Stretch="None" Visibility="Collapsed"/>

                      <ContentControl x:Name="HeaderElement" ContentTemplate="{TemplateBinding HeaderTemplate}" Content="{TemplateBinding Header}" Foreground="{TemplateBinding Foreground}" HorizontalAlignment="{TemplateBinding HorizontalContentAlignment}" VerticalAlignment="{TemplateBinding VerticalContentAlignment}"/>

                  </StackPanel>

   Please check it out and let us know if it helps you.

  All the best,

  Hi,
  
  the solution using a custom control template to re-scale the icons works fine, as long as only one theme is used.
  
  But how can I handle different themes easily?
  
  The problem: a custom  template overrides the themed colors by a fixed collection of colors and therefore  the correct "themed-colors" do not show up.
  
  I get this issue at every point you suggest to edit the control/data template if a property is not accessable.
  Is there any way to get around this matter without having a lot of other troubles? (e.g. extracting all the needed "theme-keys" to apply them to the customized template..)
  
  Thanks,
  Christoph

  Hi Christoph,

  Currently , we are not aware of easy way to workaround this - you have to edit the Style / ControlTemplate of the control in the specific Theme you will use.
