  My app has Vista as the default style and I would like to use Office_Black as the style for and instance of RadDocking. So far I've got this:
  
  

  <Controls:RadDocking Grid.Row="0" Controls1:StyleManager.Theme="Office_Black">

   

      <Controls:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

          <Controls:RadSplitContainer >

              <Controls:RadPaneGroup>

   

                  <Controls:RadPane Header="Tab 1">

                      <UserControl1/>

                  </Controls:RadPane>

   

                  <Controls:RadPane Header="Tab 2">

                      <UserControl2/>

                  </Controls:RadPane>

   

              </Controls:RadPaneGroup>

          </Controls:RadSplitContainer>

      </Controls:RadDocking.DocumentHost>

  </Controls:RadDocking>

  
  However, The style is applied to the tabs, but the RadPaneGroup is still the Vista style (a blue glow). If I set the StyleManager.Theme on each RadPane, then it is style correctly, but loses the style if I drag the control to another position in the dock. I've tried creating a style in RadDocking.Resources targetting the RadPaneGroup, but that doesn't work at all:
  
  

  <Controls:RadDocking.Resources>

                  <Style TargetType="{x:Type Controls:RadPaneGroup}">

                      <Setter Property="Controls1:StyleManager.Theme" Value="Office_Black"/>

                  </Style>

  </Controls:RadDocking.Resources>

  
  Any suggestions how I can get my docking elements to all be styled as Office_Black? Thanks!

  Putting the style in Application.Resources seems to do the trick!
