Is it correct to place a theme-manager on a UserControl? I ask this because we have user controls that use Rad-Controls and the only way I could get the themes to apply is to put the thememanager on the Usercontrol itself - there is no 'form' when editing the controls.
This does work, however, when I make changes to the theme (via VSB or directly in xml) they are not applied. I have to REMOVE the reference to the embedded resource, and add it again - then the theme changes are working.
I noticed on a regular form I do not have to do this.
Any thoughts on this issue?

Hi Randall Kohltfarber,
A likely cause of the behavior you experience is that you are editing the original theme file, but not the one that is copied in the project directory.
Generally, when you add a theme as a resource, a local project copy is created from the original file. After this happens, the project only references that copy. I tried modifying the local copy, then Rebuilt the project and the changes were taken into consideration both at design and run-time.
If you have additional questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
