Hi raghu vittal,

WPF themes are not in separate assemblies. The separate Themes assemblies are only for Silverlight controls. So just set the themes like this:
telerikControls:StyleManager.Theme="Vista"
More info on how you can set a global theme etc. you can find here: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/common-styling-apperance-setting-theme-wpf.html

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hi Sowjanya MV,

Yes we can. It's pretty much the same way we use our themes. We can set the theme through the attached property of the style manager but we can't use the theme enumeration. We use a theme defined in the resources instead:

<Grid.Resources>
    <CustomTheme:MyTheme x:Key="Theme" />
</Grid.Resources>
<telerikScheduler:RadScheduler x:Name="scheduler" telerik:StyleManager.Theme="{StaticResource Theme}" />

Or from code behind we can set application theme:

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new MyTheme();

To define MyTheme class you have to create class library project, in it extend telerik's Theme class and define Generic.xaml with the xaml style. There is attached project you can modify it using it as template. XAML may be easily extracted in blend.

There is some additional info that in general is for RadScheduler but describes the steps to create custom theme for our WPF controls.

Thanks for evaluating our controls.

Sincerely yours,
Panayot
