Understanding name of the theme

[Saravana Kumar]

I followed your custom theme tutorial (telerik way) and it all seems to work as explained in the document. I'm able to set the theme in my application (at app.xaml.cs) or use the SetTheme method in individual xaml.cs file.

But what is the correct naming convention for defining it in Xaml, is it something like this
telerik:StyleManager.Theme="My" (or)
telerik:StyleManager.Theme="MyTheme" (or)
telerik:StyleManager.Theme="local:My" (or)
telerik:StyleManager.Theme="local:MyTheme"

I tried all of them and couldn't make it work.


I'm having same difficulty understanding the predefined themes as well, is there some kind of convensional coding behind the scene.

Hi Vanyo,
I followed your custom theme solution, explained here http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/common-styling-apperance-themes-custom-theme-project-telerik-approach.html

Some of my questions were generic. Ex: When I specify a theme in xaml, I specify it something like this

telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Expression_Dark", where is this Expression_Dark string constant coming from?

Hello Saravana,

 

Actually Expression_Dark stands for the name of this theme and you use this value to set up the theme in the same way you specify any other theme we offer. I have prepared an example for you that demonstrates the approach in the referenced help topic.


If you need any further assistance please let me know.
