Themes for WPF

Themes is a great way to customize look and feel of your application and an easy one too. You can customize them or design your own but designing your own theme requires a lot of expertise and time. From my point of view its not a great idea to invest in designing your own theme provided you have so many themes available for you. You can take one which suits you and modify it as per your needs.

So I decided to post various links I know for this purpose. Let me know If you know any other Happy

theMatic–WPF Theme Generation Tool:

Doing a custom control theme in WPF is no small undertaking. theMatic (currently very-much-in-alpha) hopes to take some of that pain away, especially for smaller teams that don’t have a dedicated designer, or for quick apps that you still want to give that ‘custom’ touch.
