Hi,
I am using silverlight version 3 Beta component. I have created my theme ( MyCustomTheme.dll) as per the sample project  supplied by  telerik ( This includes just changing brushes in Common.Xaml file And rebuilding the Dll).
How do I apply this theme/skin to my application?

Hi Toshendra,

Unfortunately, our current theming mechanism does not support the Silverlight 3 runtime. We will support the latest runtime after it is officially released by Microsoft, so this will most probably come with our Q3 release. I hope the lack of theming support for SL3 is not a show-stopper for you.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Regards,

Does it supported in Q1 release? If Yes, then can you please send me sample for custom theme with Q1 components templates.
Many Thanks

Hi Toshendra,

The theming mechanism in RadControls for Silverlight does not support the Silverlight 3 runtime - this is valid for both the current release of the controls, as well as all previous releases. We are planning to include theming support for Silverlight 3 in our Q3 2009 release, which is due around October.

In case you are interested in applying your custom theme to a Silverlight 2 application, let me know and I will provide an example.

All the best,

Hi Toshendra,

Please refer to the following article which describes how to edit theme brushes in Expression Blend:

http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radcontrols-silverlight-edit-theme-brushes.html

The article is pretty straightforward, so I believe you should have no problems editing the brushes from our default themes.

Best wishes,

I was more interested in making my custom theme dll, not changing the theme in the application it self.
I guess that is not possible  with telerik controls.
Thanks Anyway, I will give it a go
