RadChart ignores PaletteBrushes when using StyleManager.Theme

[Thorsten]

Hi,

I want to use a custom color palette for my pie charts. But it never seemed to work until I finally figured out that one tiny setting on my RadChart was causing the trouble:

 

<telerik:RadChart UseDefaultLayout="False"
                  telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Windows7"
                  x:Name="radChart"
                  Grid.Row="1">
    <DockPanel>
        <telerik:ChartArea DockPanel.Dock="Left"
                            Width="150" Height="150"
                            LegendName="chartLegend"
                            x:Name="chartArea"/>
        <telerik:ChartLegend x:Name="chartLegend"/>
    </DockPanel>
</telerik:RadChart>

 

 

When I remove the theme from the XAML, everything works fine.

Did I miss something conc. themes and RadChart?

Thanks,
Thorsten

PS
I can post a working example, if required. Unfortunatly I can't upload it here.

Hi Thorsten,

 Windows 7 is an exception to the rule. Because it uses a lot of gradients the Palette is virtually ignored. For the Palette to kick in you will need to use another theme.  All other themes support custom themes.
Please, excuse us for the inconvenience. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Thanks for the info, Zammy.

Since I want to use a custom palette for the pie chart, it doesn't really matter if I have to use a different theme.

Have a nice weekend!
