    How Do You See Something Which Is Transparent?

    This was the question which has been bugging some of the Telerik’s creative minds while working on our newest theme for WPF and Silverlight controls. We wanted it be unique and cool and yet fit serious business cases. We wanted you to have fun and get things done at the same time. We wanted it to blend with your design right from the moment you choose to use it. Instead of hitting you with a wall of text – let me just show it to you … Ladies and Gentlemen – the Transparent Theme in action. The theme will be part...
