TelerikWinFormsThemeName without app.config

[Darko]

Hi,

default behavior when creating a new WinForms project is that this setting is generated in app.config:

<appSettings>
    <add key="TelerikWinFormsThemeName" value="VisualStudio2022Light" />
  </appSettings>

Since I am using .net 6 and appsettings.json, I would love to eliminate app.config entirely.

Is there a way to move this setting to appsettings.json or implement it in code globally (without adding the code in every form or user control) and still maintain the design time functionality?

regards,
Darko

Hello, Darko,

It is possible to set a theme to the entire application by setting the ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName property. Please have a look at the following help article:

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
