Is the Live Explorer custom theme available for download or for purchase separately, and if not, are there any plans to make it available in the future?

Although the other themes included with the package are quite nice, I find this theme to be perfect for what I would like to see in my application, and would rather not have to go through all the effort of recreating it (or something close to it) if I don't have to.

Thanks,

Steve

 

This is something that we were considering offering our users however, we did not have time to package the theme in a seperate .dll. I will bring this to our managent's attention to see if this is still something we would like to offer.

Thanks Matt. I look forward to hearing from you.

Just thought I'd check back in and see if there was any news on this.

Thanks

The LiveExplorer theme is not included as part of the product, so as of now you won't find it anywhere but in the demo app.

I really hope that Xceed decides to release this theme as I was looking forward to being able to use it in my own projects (it's one of the reasons I decided to purchase the product in fact.)

it sucks. i thought after i purchased the pro this theme will unlock itself. then i realised it is not there.

other themes are useless, glass is slow, wm11 hurts eyes, especially all the luna themes looking almost the same.

 only live explorer looks more reasonable, but it is not included. why bother demo something *as default* and it is not included.

 get real, you charge the datagrid for a fortune, at least includ something that s on your ads.

We're planning on making the Live Explorer theme available but even though I just talked with the team and we bumped up the priority, it still won't make it into the v3.2 timeframe (Q2 2009), so I think we're looking at availability (either in the datagrid or a saparate theme pack) for Q3 2009.

I am very disappointed as well.  I asked support about it and I was told to contact the sales guy for the availability, does that mean I have to pay again for that theme??? Why would it take another 6 months to put this theme into the product? I don't really care that much about new features but I need the bloody theme. I am sure that many of us was attracted to this product by the live-explorer theme, it's so cool and now we realize that's just an ad. That really hurts. 

It is disappointing not to have the live explorer theme available.Is there anyway to get it now ??

We've put it on the list of themes to add to a theme pack release to be made sometime in Q4 2009. More precisely, work would begin sometime in late August.

Dare I ask is this theme still planned for Q4?

After tried every theme in the package, i have to say only this live explorer  fits with everything.

Office themes don't really look very "office2007" , right now i have to stay with WM11, which ....

Live Explorer theme is planned for the next release of the datagrid. The one scheduled for release in January, not the one coming in the next few days.

We'll also have a really nice looking Windows 7 theme... you might even like it more than the Live Explorer theme.
