Hi Chintan Shah,

Here you can find more information about telerik themes:

You can also take a look at our online QSF where the themes are changed dynamically using combo box.

Hi,

For anyone that hits this forum searching for information how to change theme at runtime, here is an help article showing how to do it using implicit styles. Additionally, you can download the source code of the UI for WPF demos and see how the theme changing mechanism is implemented there.

Note that if you use StyleManager you can switch themes at runtime using the same approach as in the previously linked article, but instead of merging resource dictionaries, you can just set them ApplicationTheme static property of StyleManager. For example:

StyleManager.ApplicationTheme = new GreenTheme();

I hope this will help someone.
