Styling a compiled app

11-01-2009 1:23 AM |

Hi,

I wish to oursource the styling of my app to a third party. I don't want to give away my source code for obvious reasons. What are the options here (as a Blend newbie)?

I'm thinking along the lines of a seperate 'styles project' distributed with a compiled version of my code. I have broken out my styles resource dictionary into a separate project and this works fine. But if I distribute the compiled app will the designer be able to update this project against the compiled project?

Is what I'm trying possible - or is there a better way?

Thanks, Paul.

Hi, the simple way is that first list all the controls in SL and SL toolkit that u have used and what your main screen should look like.

Then outsource designing those controls that u have used. Once the designer gives back the prototype of conrols that it would look like, you apply the style, by placing his/her greetheme.xaml and using it on your project, Something like this
