Silverlight love for WPF

 

Silverlight’s adoption is growing at a good pace… With this growing adoption comes developer/designers willing to share their design skills for free! Their are some great freely available “themes” for Silverlight available! The MAJOR difference between designing themes for WPF & Silverlight is Triggers vs VisualStateManager! The WPF Toolkit now includes a implementation of the VisualStateManager for WPF… This makes porting themes (or controls) from Silverlight to WPF as easy as… Here are 2 themes I converted:

Dave’s glossy controls

UX Musing Red

 

Porting the themes are pretty straight forward… here are some of the issues I did ran into thou!

This is great! However, I am unable to easily convert some of the controls, such as slider and scrollbar ... and thus combobox doesn't really work.

Could you upload your source code for this? Thanks!
