Hi,
is it possible to dynamically load a default theme assembly at runtime an set the theme as application theme. The user should be able to choose between all available themes. Now I have an object for all themes on main form and a reference to each theme. But in order to save loading time I want to load the assembly of the configured theme at application start. I did not found any documentation or sample how to do this.
Regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
There are two time consuming operations regarding themes - the first one is creating theme component instances which load themes in the application and the second one is applying a theme to a control. Only the fact that you have referenced theme assemblies does not increase the application start-up time.
In order to optimize the application start-up time, you can create the theme component instances in a separate thread. You will have your theme components created, but you will not feel any performance decrease coming from this fact.
I am attaching a sample project to demonstrate this. Just try running the project with and without the performance optimizations and you will notice the difference.
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
Kind regards,
