Hi!
Some where long the line, I've read that the Q3 release of winforms would have a common theme to all controls, besides the ControlDefault one.
My question is how, if so, has this been implemented? All the themes available have properties to work on every control?

Hello Stargazer,
Thank you for writing.
Yes, we have several common themes for our controls. You can find detailed information on them in the help.
In Q3 2008 we introduced a new feature called Theme Color Blending. It allows you to style entire applications very easily. You should to set a new color for the theme’s parameter and that's all! The new color scheme will be applied to all Telerik WinForms controls in your application. For more info you may take a look at this blog post on theme color blends:

Here is short code sniped that demonstrate this.
I hope this helps.

| Theme currentThemeTheme currentTheme = ThemeResolutionService.GetTheme("Desert");//we will modify desert theme | |
| if (currentTheme.ThemeProperties.ContainsKey("BaseColor")) |
|
| currentTheme.ThemeProperties["BaseColor"] = (HslColor)Color.Red; |
I hope this helps.

Hi Peter!
Understood! ;)
Although, I think your snippet is wrong, and it will bite on people's behinds if they use it as it is ;)
I think it should be more like that. At least the other example failed to compile because of the first line and the last (the cast is invalid, it says). Am I right?
