The answer is


Here's another one for Silverlight. And a list of nice gradients to use.


I bought a theme from www.xamltemplates.net. The themes ship with source code so you can tweak them. They also offer a free theme (source code included).


I also found those: http://xceed.com/ProThemes_WPF_Features.html

And of course there are many implementations of Metro UI for WPF: https://github.com/MahApps/MahApps.Metro http://mosaicproject.codeplex.com/


Viblend WPF themes are free.

Not purely themes, but MahApps.Metro provides Windows 8 Look and feel with a few variants like dark and light base themes with green,blue etc for text and others. Its pretty cool and can be used out of the box.

The direct link to the WPF themes project is here: WPF themes

Download the source code (currently there is no binary release) and check out the demo that comes with it to get an idea of the capabilities.

You will need to install the WPF toolkit in order to compile and use the themes.

This is an ongoing project, so I think more themes will be added in the future. It will probably ruin the the sites trying to sell themes to you, but it is great for one man shops that can't invest too much up front.
