I'm trying to make a custom theme for the RadTimeline.
Im my custom theme, I want to wrap a ScrollViewer around the Timeline's TimelineItemContainer just like described in this post: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/timeline/vertical-scrollbar-scrollviewer-and-radtimeline.aspx
and I want to remove the horizontal scrollbar of the control (the RadSlider at the bottom).
I've tried to create a custom theme using the approach described here:
http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/common-styling-apperance-themes-custom-theme-project-telerik-approach.html
(albeit the documentation is for Silverlight, couldn't find anything similar for WPF)
and I've also had a look at the sample project here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/general-discussions/how-can-i-create-a-custom-theme-for-wpf-application.aspx
I couldn't manage to get the theme working.
I'm not sure if I made everything right in the theme project - especially the following things in the XAML of my custom theme:
Actually, it doesn't have to be a whole custom theme, I just want to change the style of RadTimeline like described above. So, my first try was to edit the style using Expression Blend. I selected the RadTimeline and chose: Edit Template --> Edit a Copy. This alone shouldn't change the style at all, shouldn't it? But instead, the whole control is white/transparent - please see the attached files before_edit_template.png and after_edit_template.png. I expect it to look exactly the same as before calling Edit Template --> Edit a Copy. Why isn't it?
Here (http://johannes.unterguggenberger.info/TimelineCustomTheme.zip) is a Solution which contains 2 Projects: A custom theme project and a project which uses the custom theme (at least tries to) to change the style of a RadTimeline. Maybe someone could have a look at it and maybe tell me, what's the problem, or point me in a direction.
Thanks in advance!

- <my:MyTheme x:Key="Theme" />
- The many references to ThemeType=telerik:Office_BlackTheme
- content of Generic.xaml
- declaration of MyTheme class
