How to change theme for whole application

[york]

Hi,

I want to change theme for the entire wpf application. I am using RadControls for WPF Q3 2012. When use (in MainWindow.xaml.cs)

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new VistaTheme();

Compiler gives,
Error    1    The name 'StyleManager' does not exist in the current context.
Error    2    The type or namespace name 'VistaTheme' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I notice that the Telerik.Windows.Themes.Vista.dll is not added. However Telerik.Windows.Themes.Vista.dll can not be found (it is not in Binaries directory). I need help on this. Thanks.

What the **** is the point of just saying that the problem is solved without putting the solution!?

The post is for long time ago and I forget the solution. If you have same problem, please post a question again.

Hi,

I would suggest you using Implicit Styles instead of StyleManager. You can check this help article on Implicit Styles and article on Switching Themes at Runtime for a reference.
