Hi everyone,
I've been researching theming standard WPF controls with Telerik Themes and came across the following Telerik post:
"There is too little demand for complete coverage of telerik themes over the toolbox controls."
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/general-discussions/telerik-themes-for-wpf.aspx
While I understand that theming every standard WPF control would be quite a job, I would appreciate if some additional standard WPF controls could be themed with Telerik Themes, especially as they have corresponding controls within Telerik's suite, for example:
* Combo box
* Progress bar
* Expander
* ToolBar
A list of the current controls supported can be found here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/general-discussions/wpf-theme.aspx
The benefit I can see for expanded theming support for standard WPF controls is no code disruption for existing projects (eg. manually changing every ComboBox to RadComboBox and adding the appropriate references to each project). All that would be required to support theming for a consistent user experience would be a small code addition, such as:
http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/wpf/general/284356-global-dynamic-theme-application-to-all-controls.aspx
Would anyone else appreciate extended support for theming standard WPF controls? If so, which controls would you like to see themed? Hopefully with this post we can show whether there is or isn't significant demand for this.
Kind regards,
Dave.
