WPF MDI add Mahapps metro style

Question

I want to use Mahapps style on WPF.MDI .
I managed to add the style to UserControl, with resource merging, but child is unchanged.

Need to create new them for WPF.MDI, that targets mahapps style?

Any direction helps.

Answer 1

I figure it out, on my own.
Short explanation here:
Created a copy of Aero.xaml, modified it and referenced Mahapps .
Source on GitHub .



I reconfigured to use resource dictionary and fixed window control highlight (close, minimize, maximize).

Answer 2

Nice work!

To use the Accent defined in the application resources, I deleted accent defined in Metro.xaml. The remaining problem is the Accent of Inactive Window.

"WPF.MDI\\Themes\\Metro.xaml", commented out line 10-12:

<!-- Deleted to use Accent defined in App.xaml -->
<!--
<Color x:Key="AccentColor">#CC161717</Color>
<Color x:Key="AccentBaseColor">#CC161717</Color>
<Color x:Key="AccentColor2">#868686</Color>
-->
