DXThemes™ for WPF

Application-Wide Themes for WPF Controls Microsoft® Office® styles and unique themes designed by DevExpress - supported throughout the entire DevExpress WPF Product Line.

The DevExpress Application Theme and Style Engine ships with a set of predefined visual styles that mimic the UI from some of today's leading application vendors - allowing you to deliver a compelling user experience with ease. For utmost flexibility and to fully meet the needs of your customers, you can quickly change your application's color scheme while preserving the overall look and feel of a given visual style.

100% WPF-Based Implementation

All DevExpress WPF Controls and standard components offered by Microsoft, are 'lookless' by their very nature. To apply a skin, we simply specify element templates using native WPF elements. This means that you'll use 100% WPF based skins that aren't based on raster images and our controls will preserve picture quality regardless of element size.

Centralized Control

It takes just one property value change to alter the entire application's appearance. Simply specify the desired theme name for the root element and you're done. As you can imagine, this makes it easy to implement end-user theme switching capabilities.

Skinning for Standard Controls

The flexibility of the DevExpress Theme Engine can be demonstrated by our full support of standard Microsoft WPF controls. When using standard controls in conjunction with those we engineer, you can rest assured that your applications will always be visually consistent and provide a compelling end-user experience. The following is a list of standard controls supported by the DevExpress Theme Engine.

Supported Standard Controls

	Button		CheckBox		ComboBox
	Group Box		Label		List Box
	Page		ProgressBar		Radio Button
	Repeat Button		Separator		Scroll Bar
	Scroll Viewer		Slider		Tab Control
	TextBox		Toggle Button		Tooltip

DevExpress WPF Controls use this feature for their built-in UI elements. For instance, our Toolbar-Menu system applies DevExpress themes to standard controls in its Customization Window.
