Material Design styling in managed bootstrapper application

[patchandthat]

You're going to need up your xaml game for this.

You don't have an App.xaml to define the application's resource dicts. Suspect I've got choices of either...

• Having a xaml resource dictionary which I can reference as a header for each view.

• Having the viewmodels define what their resources are. This sort of breaks the separation of responsibilities, but if it works, and since it's only the installer, whatever.

  var dictionaries = App.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries;
  dictionaries.Clear();
  
  var themeStyles = new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri("/MyAssemblyName;component/Styles/Styles.xaml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute) };
  dictionaries.Add(themeStyles);

Or actually turns out to be dead easy.
