How to use

After adding DynamicAero2.dll to project reference, edit App.xaml as follows.

<Application [...]
             xmlns:DynamicAero2="clr-namespace:DynamicAero2;assembly=DynamicAero2">
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <DynamicAero2:Theme Color="NormalColor"/>
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

Change the Color property to Dark or Light if necessary.

Theme with style

The theme will not be applied to controls that have Style applied to them.
If you want to use both Style and Theme, you need to set BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:type Button}}" to Style.

Correct code

<Button>
  <Button.Style>
    <Style TargetType="Button" BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type Button}"}/>
  </Button.Style>
</Button>

Incorrect code

<Button>
  <Button.Style>
    <Style TargetType="Button"/>
  </Button.Style>
</Button
