I seem to be missing something in the documentation...how to connect a newly designed theme to my application. I can create the theme...save the theme...generate the class...set the solution preference to the new theme...but, when I run the application, the new theme is not used. I added the following to the program.cs file:



ApplicationTheme.Theme = ApplicationThemeName.Custom;



however, that does not seem to matter either. I closed VS, then reopened...still no change.



Interesting note...if I open the Solution Preferences window, the first time, it uses the standard theme; however, the next and subsequent times that I open it, it shows the applied theme in that window.



So, how do I get my custom theme applied to the application?



Thanks,

Bill

Figures...two minutes after I post, I found the answer. In the program.cs file, I added:



ApplicationTheme.LoadCustomTheme(typeof(MyTheme));



That did it. Thanks StrataFrame team...that theme editor is a dream!
