Changing Silverlight application themes at runtime

We have received a lot of questions how can the application theme be changed at run time. The most important thing here to mark is that each time the application theme is changed all the controls should be re-drawn. Without going into too much detail, we could explain the application themes as a mechanism to replace the content of the Generic.xaml file in every loaded Telerik assembly at runtime. This does not affect the controls that already have default style applied, hence the need to create new instances. Because in the Silverlight applications the RootVisual cannot be changed at run time, we...

Expression Blend for WinForms? We are almost there!

As Q1 2010 is approaching we thought it would be a good idea to tell you where we are currently with our new Visual Style Builder (VSB) for Windows Forms.

Change the Office Black theme to support multiple Linear Scales using Expression Blend

I recently posted an entry regarding the Radial Gauge for WPF where I demonstrated how you can create a half circle gauge. Not long after that post, I received a question asking about Linear Gauges and how to use multiple scales in a single Linear Gauge. It is not that there is a functional difference, but rather a visual difference. The Office Black theme (shown below) has a border area in the middle where the linear gauges were overlapping causing a visual collision. There are a number of ways that you can accomplish a task and I think one of...
