Writing WPF styles?

(1/2) > >>

Tuxman:
For some retro project I'm considering to develop, I could really need some Windows 3.x WPF style. Are there any? If not, how can I actually create them?

I never did that before.

Well, to use a windows 3.1 style, you're probably going to have to supply artwork, either from someone drawing it, or finding a picture of a window that approximates what you want, and chopping it up in to the resources.  There might be a pack of images out there for it, but that would require some research to find.

As far as how to do it, there are a lot of tutorials out there.  Here are two.

Tuxman:
I thought I'd crowdsource the research, not having found any on my own.  :D

Thanks. Meh, I was hoping WPF would allow me to just apply some CSS-like styling ...

It does.  But quite similar to CSS, you have to have the resources if you want to get crazy with it or use something that's not intrinsic to the page.

Tuxman:
CSS is a part of my job, I could perfectly live with that.  8)

Why would I need graphics when that XML-thingy just allows me to apply styles at all?
