Welcome to Xceed Pro Themes for WPF v3.0 / Basic Concepts / Styles and Brushes Available in the Themes / Styles and Brushes Available in the Live Explorer Theme
    Styles and Brushes Available in the Live Explorer Theme

    The properties representing the brushes and styles available in the Live Explorer theme, contained in the LiveExplorerResources class, are listed below. The styles and brushes encompass all of Microsoft's officially supported .NET WPF controls. This theme is from Xceed’s datagrid demo and gives your apps a unique style that is darker and more sophisticated, with a touch of color, and unlike the typical Microsoft OS / application themes.

    For details on how to apply these styles and brushes explicitly, see Applying Themes Explicitly.

    Brushes in the Live Explorer Theme

    The following table lists the brushes available in Xceed's Live Explorer theme. These brushes can be used to style your own controls so that they fit seamlessly into the rest of the themed application.
