Thank you for this Video. this would have to be the most professionally explained WPF theme tutorial I have seen to date. Well explained and Included source code project. You are enjoyable to watch, listen to and Learn from.
Mate it's so good to watch you. Lots of these Videos are boring like hell, becuase U have to watch the guys preparing the UI with mistyping 1000 times. But this video is just amizing good, with well prepared content and easy explanation. You are a talented teacher Sir. Well done.
Nice, good idea for part 2, store the user choice in settings.settings or something so they don’t have to change it to dark every time they boot the app
Love your video I was crashing and burning until I found your example!
You are a star!! Very helpfull approach!! Thanx for the tutorial!!
Very clean and straight forward. **ThumbsUp**
very good tutorial
Many thanks
This is what I need. tnx
I'm glad I found your videos; I'm a long time programmer, but I've been doing such varied work that I don't get the chance to focus on things like this. I have a question, though, if I want to create a user control library, it seems like the technique of using DynamicResource doesn't work - I have no way to specify a resource file. I could just write the library, I suppose, as a wpf application instead of a library (I can still easily link to the DLL), but I don't think that's really a great approach.
I have to agree with what @ThomasSchmidt-Esterle wrote: very clear and straightforward. Many thanks for the simple yet concise explanation.
will the "theme change" on the main window also be applied throughout the operation of the application such as a user being re-directed to a new window? or this color change is only applied to one certain window?
The theme will apply to the entire application because the resource dictionary resource is available through the app class which makes it available in all the windows
Well done easy to follow thank you.
Good stuff, thanks a lot!
this is really nice. thank you
Thank you!
Thankyou brother.
How do I can use it with color animations?
very interesting
Don't you need to clear the MergedDictionaries as well, before adding every time?
We do not need to clear the dictionaries cause they contain the styling and they are defined as resources. We only need to switch between light and dark
Could you add a x:Name and only change the source property Source? Or is there something that I missed?
Would this work for you in this instance?
ResourceDictionary Theme = new ResourceDictionary() {Source="URI"};
App.Current.Resources.Remove("Dark");
App.Current.Resources.Add("Light", Theme);
Because I want to work with a lot of merge dictionaries, and I don't want to lose that ability
Unfortunately you can’t add a key to the resource dictionary itself but only to its contents
