Need themes for the WPF Toolkit controls (especially the DataGrid)

Question

I just downloaded the nice themes collection from the Codeplex WPF Themes site. I like the WhisterBlue and BureauBlue themes a lot, but neither contain any styles for the new controls included in the WPF Toolkit (DataGrid, DatePicker, and Calendar).

It seems like someone out there must have extended the themes to cover these controls, but I've had no luck finding them. So, if you have any leads, I'd love to hear them.

I should also mention that I've been trying to port a Silverlight version of the BureauBlue DataGrid theme to WPF (see: How do you port a theme from Silverlight to WPF?), but that has been quite unsuccessful so far.

A good (much needed) WPF DataGrid theme : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1736530/wpf-datagrid-style-silverlight-datagrid/4269855#4269855 — gideon, Mar 29 '11 at 06:46

WPFreakyStyley has extended all of its themes to the WPF Toolkit. You might be able to find one that matches the CodePlex theme you're using. WPFreakyStyley

@Phillip, thanks. That's got a lot more in it than the WPF Toolkit. I'm having a little trouble with the namespaces and assembly references, though. I can't seem to find matching assemblies for the examples on the Silverlight Toolit Samples page (http://silverlight.net/content/samples/sl3/toolkitcontrolsamples/run/default.html). – devuxer Oct 22 '09 at 06:30
I should mention, I downloaded and installed the toolkit (October 2009) but if I try to add a reference for `System.Windows.Controls.Theming.Toolkit`, I can't find it in the list. Is this because I'm using Visual Studio 2008? Is it because my project is WPF, not Silverlight? – devuxer Oct 22 '09 at 06:40
Apologies, I misread your question and pointed you to something that related only to SL. And yes, you can't the reference because you are using WPF and the assembly is SL. – Phillip Ngan Oct 22 '09 at 13:56
Ahh, well I had a Silverlight tag for my question (just removed it), so it was actually my fault. – devuxer Oct 22 '09 at 14:28

High Robotics has free WPF theme that can be applied to apps and does not have dolly glossy style.

But it requires at least WPF.NET 4 (WPF Toolkit was included in that version).

Also here is discussion about free wpf themes (MahApps.Metro, nukeaction and others).

Actipro Software has a free, opensource project on CodePlex called the "WPF Control Contrib". It contains code that extends the functionality of the built-in DataGrid and includes five themes for the DataGrid: AeroNormal, Classic, LunaHomestead, LunaMetallic and LunaNormal
