Hello,

I need to change the colors on the document borders, the tabs, and the space behind the tabs.  My content is generated programically meaning I'm adding RadPanels and content on the code behind.  

Any examples you could provide would be great.  Thank you!

Hello Aaron Smith,

Thank you for using Telerik RadControls. You can use Expression Blend as a  recommended approach to change any temple part or color variations of the Silverlight controls. Please refer to this help article, which is step by step tutorial showing you how to create your own style.

For RadDocking I don't have the option of editing the control in expression blend.

Hello Aaron Smith,

Sorry for the late response. Attached, you can find two projects. One of them is the actual custom style of the RadDocking control, whereas the second is the project demonstrating the way you can apply the custom theme. In the Generic.xaml I have marked with comments the paragraph where you can set your own color, for the parts you asked for. If you need more assistance, don't hesitate to write to us.

All the best,

Thanks that helped.


What about chaning the colors for the background in the area where unpinned window headers are?  

So for example, if I have a window called "Stuff" and I drag it to a right panel, and unpin it, the whole window is hidden and a button called "Stuff" exists on a new vertical menu bar to the right.  How do I change the colors of that bar and the window button?

Also, how do I change the colors where the title appears in the windows?  The portion of the window that you use to drag?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Aaron Smith,

As I suggested, the best approach is to use the Expression Blend Studio. What you need is to add a reference to the Telerik.Windows.Controls.dll, Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation.dll and Telerik.Windows.Controls.Docking.dll assemblies. Then drag a RadDocking, RadSplitContainer, RadPaneGroup and RadPane controls to the page. Then you can start editing their control parts, colors and brushes. Please see the posted link where you can find some useful information. Attached you can find a screenshot demonstrating the described techniques.

Sincerely yours,
Kaloyan
