Theme issues on version 2012.2.608.20

[David]

Hi all,

I've just upgraded my telerik winform components libraries to version 2012.2.608.20 and encountered some issues related to telerik theme. There are 2 issues that emerged:

1. I have a project that uses splash screen (I use telerik form and other telerik controls inside the splash screen). I used to use ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName property on my Form.Load handler to set theme for entire application and it worked fine. But now it always  throws InvalidOperationException that says "Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'SplashScreen1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.". I also try not to use telerik controls on my splash screen but it works fine. It looks like the theme engine tries to change the theme of the telerik controls inside the splash screen. 
2. In designer environment I used to be able to change the controls' ThemeName property to for instance "TelerikMetro" as long as I have "TelerikMetro" theme component placed inside my main form. But now the property doesn't show "TelerikMetro" option even if I have placed "TelerikMetro" theme component inside my main form.

Is there any solution to handle this issues? 

Thanks

Hello David,

We know about the described issues and I can confirm that they appear when using the Q2 2012 version. The issues will be addressed in our upcoming service pack which is planned for the end of the month. If they are a show stopper for you, you can download the latest internal build where they are also addressed, through our Visual Studio Extensions.

If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
 
All the best,
Jack
