Hi
We are using your Expression_Dark theme (customers love it!) and to apply the theme to non-Telerik controls I handle it in ResourceDictionaries like this...
This works great, however on certain forms we might want to set specific properties of a TextBox like margins.
If we use an inline Usercontrol.Resources declaration, the declaration completely ignores anything set in the ResourceDictionary!
Any idea on how to get both?

Found the answer.
In your ResourceDictionary.xaml:
Add a Key to what you originally wanted to be global.
Create an empty global style and base it on the key.
This will still use everything in the keyed style globally.
Then on the page.xaml you want to add additional styles globally to just that page (like Margins) do this:
This will give you everything in the ResourceDictionary PLUS stuff declared locally!
