WPF VS 2013 Dark Light Demo Client
All screenshots below are from the MLibTest WPF client based on:
- MLib and
- VS 2013 Dark (Accent Color Gold)/Light (Accent Color Blue) theme
on Windows 10.
The demo program shows how you can change your accent color on Windows 10 and how AvalonDock will follow that color. There is no Accent Color setting on Windows 7, which is why the demo application only supports a blue accent color on Windows 7. Any application can of course use a color picker to enable an application specific definition of an accent color (on any operating system), but this is currently not in the scope of the demo application.
Similar results are possible with other theming libraries (e.g.: MahApps.Metro or MUI) since the implementation follow these guidelines.
The Docking Buttons are defined in XAML, which ensures a good looking image on all resolutions, even 4K or 8K, and enables us to color theme consistently with the Window 10 Accent Color.
