The answer to my question is likely out there but I'm having trouble ferreting it out.
I want to create a complete custom theme but I want to start with the RoyalLight theme. Basically, I would like an example that might show taking all the RoyalLight (for example) into a new project and create a new theme. I am then going to go back and start tweaking the theme for my needs.
I feel like this is probably a good starting point but it is confusing: https://es.infragistics.com/help/wpf/thememanager-creating-new-custom-theme.
Maybe a sample project would be helpful.
Thx

Hello Rick,
Yes, you may extend an existing theme.
eg.
https://es.infragistics.com/help/wpf/thememanager-extending-existing-control-theme
Themes location:C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\2019.1\WPF\Themes
Let me know if you have any questions.
Ok I have managed to reproduce the example (FYI ExtendedTheme.xamTileManager.xaml has many typos mostly unclosed quotes)
With that framework I then apllied it to the RoyalLight theme. Now that I have the basic framework of how to do the extension I want to extrapolate that to changing the colors of various controls. The first I wanted to start with is the Button. In RoyalLight the button background is "purple" when clicked. I want to change that to my desired color. I thought I could start by making changes in the Theme.Colors somehow I was able to have an effect but I think mostly all I did was confuse things so now I don't get purple but I don't get my color either.
So I will ask how would I change the background color of a button by extending the RoyalLight theme?
I think I did get one sample to upload. Link required pwd???
The password is removed, but if you plan on attaching ExtendedThemeExample.zip don't worry I was able to download it above. I'll take a look today. The default styles for dock should still be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Infragistics\2019.1\WPF\Themes
I attached all of the XAML for setting up Royal Light for XamDockManager.
DockManagerRoyalLight.zip
Thx. While waiting on the answer to the combobox problem I've been working on dockmanager. I have worked through it to the point where it is giving me an error in the PrimitiveGeneric.xaml.
It is telling me that "The name "TileDragIndicator" does not exist in the namespace http://infragisitics.com/Windows.Tiles"
I have tried to make sense of that and also find out where it does exist.
Your help is appreciated.
Now I'm looking at what is in the zip file versus what is in my install folder and PrimitivesGeneric is different between what you sent me and what is in the 2018.2
This is correct for the RoyalLightTheme. Only the Default, IgTheme and Office 2010 Blue Themes have this layout style for the expansion indicators. So you will have to take a look at those styles and import them/replace what RoyalLight is doing.
I think I am nearly there. If I can understand this last thing I believe I can finish....
My problem is this: The RoyalLight theme using > and a down pointing version of > for the collapsed and expanded indicators in the XamTreeGrid. I have managed to get all the colors, cell borders, etc that I want to change implemented but I cannot figure out where these graphics are coming from. It would seem that the areas in DataPresenterRoyalLight_Express starting around line 4721 would be the target area. Specifically starting at line 4788 ****ExpandCollapseToggle Style*** this code would seem to imply the style:
<!-- ********************************** ExpandCollapseToggle Style ********************************** --> <Style x:Key="ExpandCollapseToggleStyle" TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}"> <Setter Property="Focusable" Value="False" /> <Setter Property="Width" Value="22" /> <Setter Property="Height" Value="22" /> <Setter Property="Template"> <Setter.Value> <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToggleButton}"> <Border Background="{StaticResource TransparentBrush}" Padding="0"> <Grid> <Path x:Name="ExpansionIndicatorCollapsed" Width="5" Height="8" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="M60,40L60,20 70,30z" Fill="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphBackgroundBrush}" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphBorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="1" UseLayoutRounding="False" /> <Path x:Name="ExpansionIndicatorExpanded" Width="6" Height="6" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Data="M0.5,6.4997156 L3.3283137,3.6714226 3.6714667,3.6714429 3.6714465,3.3282926 6.4997594,0.50000001 6.500113,6.5000692 z" Fill="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphExpandedBackgroundBrush}" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Stretch="Fill" Stroke="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphBorderBrush}" StrokeThickness="1" UseLayoutRounding="False" Visibility="Collapsed" /> </Grid> </Border> <ControlTemplate.Triggers> <Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="True"> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorCollapsed" Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphHoverBackgroundBrush}" /> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorCollapsed" Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphHoverBackgroundBrush}" /> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorExpanded" Property="Stroke" Value="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphHoverBackgroundBrush}" /> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorExpanded" Property="Fill" Value="{StaticResource ExpansionIndicatorGlyphHoverBackgroundBrush}" /> </Trigger> <Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True"> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorExpanded" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible" /> <Setter TargetName="ExpansionIndicatorCollapsed" Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed" /> </Trigger> </ControlTemplate.Triggers> </ControlTemplate> </Setter.Value> </Setter> </Style>
Alas no amount of fiddling affects my outcome
I get this
but I want this
That is as far as the > versus + is concerned.
I am looking in the wrong place undoubtedly. But I have worked the entire DataPresenter chain for the RoyalLight theme so I am at a loss.
If I could crack this nut my up coming demo would be perfect.
Attached is all the xaml for our shared controls. Note I cannot easily provide you with the rest of the WPF-specific xaml because it's tethered to their own respectful folders. Let me know which Infragistics controls you need styled. Also it would be best if you could send me a small example of using the installed xaml (default styles) showing any issues you've ran into so we can fix them.

Michael thank you for the themes zip file. A lot of my problems are in the xaml contained in the DefaultStyles folder. Could I get the Default files folder that is used to build the 18.2 release. The files in the 18.2 distribution are not current. Please see above
Thx, Rick
