apply visualstudio2013 theme

[Sang-Oh]

I want to apply visualstudio2013 theme in my app.

this is my code,

public ProcessMonitor()
{
        Telerik.Windows.Controls.VisualStudio2013Palette.LoadPreset(VisualStudio2013Palette.ColorVariation.Dark);
        InitializeComponent();
}

But, not applied.

What should I do?

Hello Sang-Oh,

This is the right way to set color variation for VisualStudio2013 theme. However it requires that you have already added reference to NoXAML binaries in your project. After you add reference you'll have to merge the needed implicit style files globally in App.xaml. For RadTimeBar control with VS2013 theme these files are:

<ResourceDictionary>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.VisualStudio2013;component/Themes/System.Windows.xaml"/>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.VisualStudio2013;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.xaml"/>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/Telerik.Windows.Themes.VisualStudio2013;component/Themes/Telerik.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.xaml"/>
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>

By default you'll see RadTimeBar control with VisualStudio2013 Light variation. If you want to change this, you might set the code-line you mentioned in code-behind:

VisualStudio2013Palette.LoadPreset(VisualStudio2013Palette.ColorVariation.Dark);

Please mind that all these steps are written and described in our documentation, more specifically in Implicit Styles help topic and VisualStudio2013 Theme help topic.
