User control issue in the app

[sumit-codebrewer]

The library looks good on my application, it has several styles that are making my windows look modern. Like, this how I implemented a settings page in my app.

The issue is, when I am trying to enable the same modern styles on the user control, it is showing different behaviour. Like this is how the buttons are looking here.

Kindly suggest a way to fix the same, so that the user control have the same properties as a normal window.

Where did you put ThemeResource and XamlControlResource in? They should be put in the App.Resources. Did you follow the Quick Start Guide?

I put that in app.xaml and it is applying the modern styles in every window. But talking about User control, it is not showing the same behaviour in this case.

Ideally, I want this kind of color in dark theme

What I am getting in case of user control being called in another window

Any ideas, how to fix this?

I was able to get this to work for UserControl by manually merging resources for UserControl, and then forcing the style on the buttons:

<UserControl.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <ui:ThemeResources />
                <ui:XamlControlsResources />
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </UserControl.Resources>

<Button
Content="{Binding ButtonContent}"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}">

        </ResourceDictionary>
    </UserControl.Resources>

<Button
Content="{Binding ButtonContent}"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}">

I don't think this is a good idea. It will make the theme resources loaded twice. What about adding those to DesignTimeResources?

Any guides on how I can do this? Would really appreciate it - sorry I'm a little new to WPF development

OK removing the UserControl.Resources and just manually specifying the style in the Button fixed the issue for me:

<Button
Content="{Binding ButtonContent}"
Style="{StaticResource DefaultButtonStyle}">

@biocross Maybe this solution is not bad.

However, in my scenario, everything works fine when adding themes into app.xaml.

I don't know why this doesn't work for you guys. I'm really confused.
