Remarks

DevExpress provides multiple themes that can be applied to all DevExpress controls for WPF and some standard controls (GroupBox, ScrollViewer, Scroll, RadoiButton, Button, ListBox, Slider, TabControl, Separator, ToggleButton, RepeatButton, Label, ListBoxItem, TabItem, ToolTip, etc).

To apply a theme, assign its name to the ThemeManager.ThemeName property.

XAML

xaml

<Window x:Class="WpfApplication5.Window1"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:dxg="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/grid"
    xmlns:dx="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/core"
    Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300"
    dx:ThemeManager.ThemeName="Office2007Black">
    <Grid>
        <dxg:GridControl Name="grid" Width="400" Height="270"
                         AutoPopulateColumns="True">
            <dxg:GridControl.View>
                <dxg:TableView AutoWidth="True"/>
            </dxg:GridControl.View>
        </dxg:GridControl>
    </Grid>
</Window>

To prevent theming of individual controls, set the ThemeManager.ThemeName attribute to ‘None’. The ‘DeepBlue’ theme is applied to a DevExpress control if the ThemeManager.ThemeName attribute is set to ‘None’.

XAML

xaml

<TextBox Name="textBox1" dx:ThemeManager.ThemeName="None"
            Width="120" Height="23"/>

Note

Lightweight themes work with the LightweightThemeManager and do not support the ThemeManager and its API.
