Feature Request

Hi Team, 

Dennis Callahan from Telerik submitting this on behalf of Don - 

If your team could create a theme for UI for WPF that mimicked the look of a UWP application and responded to the Windows 10 Light and Dark setting that would be excellent. I have not found such a theme in any of the products I have looked at so if Telerik could do it I think it might be the first.

Hi Don,

I'm glad to hear that I was able to help you! Thank you for the kind words for our support service.

I'm setting the status of the Feature request to declined as we will not proceed with an implementation, as the feature could be achieved with an application logic, similar to the one provided in the sample project that I sent earlier.

Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket

Best Regards,
Vicky

Thank you so much Vicky! The sample does, indeed, really help.

I had already discovered the Fluent theme and I really like it. I took the time to learn how to use the NoXaml styling and I have been able to achieve much of what I want. Your sample project has given me the additional information I needed and I greatly appreciate it.

This kind of support along with the quality of the product makes me really happy I chose Telerik over other options. 

 
Regards,
Don

Hi again,

As promised, I investigated the scenario and have prepared a sample project which demonstrates a possible way to achieve the desired end result.
The project has the Fluent theme applied using the implicit (NoXaml) styling mechanism. It includes helper classes and methods for getting the System's theme colors and overriding (and correspondingly updating) the Fluent theme palette's accent colors (AccentColor, AccentPressedColor, AccentFocusedColor, AccentMouseOverColor) with them when a system setting has changed.

Please, find the project attached to my reply, give it a try and let me know if it helps.

Regards,
Vicky

Hello Don,

The Telerik UI for WPF's suite comes with a variety of predefined themes.
Part of them is also the Fluent theme, which is inspired by the Fluent Design System and comes with built-in elements that provide interaction feedback and easy-to-customize colors. Our interpretation of it comes with two color presets - Light and Dark, which correspond to the Windows 10 colors.

However, all our themes are independent and do not rely on Windows settings or themes, which means that changing a color through your Windows settings won't have an effect on the Telerik's Fluent theme. You should still be able to achieve the desired look though by implementing some custom application logic. This requires further investigation on our side as well - we'll follow up with further information as soon as possible. In the meantime, I can suggest you checking out our:

I hope you find this information helpful. Please, take your time to explore the Fluent theme and let me know if it is what you are looking for.
I remain at your disposal in case any further questions arise.

Best Regards,
Vicky
