public class GalleryThemeSelectorBehavior :
ThemeSelectorBehavior<Gallery>Remarks
To use the GalleryThemeSelectorBehavior, attach it to a GalleryControl:
<Window ...
xmlns:dxb="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/bars"
xmlns:dxmvvm="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/mvvm">
<Grid>
<dxb:GalleryControl>
<dxb:GalleryControl.Gallery>
<dxb:Gallery ColCount="3"
IsGroupCaptionVisible="True"
IsItemCaptionVisible="True"
IsItemDescriptionVisible="True"
ItemAutoWidth="True">
<dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
<dxb:GalleryThemeSelectorBehavior />
</dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
</dxb:Gallery>
</dxb:GalleryControl.Gallery>
</dxb:GalleryControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
Persist Theme Selection between Application Runs
Use can save the application’s theme to the configuration file and restore it on the next application run.
To save an applied theme, use the static ApplicationThemeHelper.SaveApplicationThemeName method to save the theme name specified in the static ApplicationThemeHelper.ApplicationThemeName property:
private void Application_Exit(object sender, StartupEventArgs e) {
ApplicationThemeHelper.SaveApplicationThemeName();
}
Call the static ApplicationThemeHelper.UpdateApplicationThemeName method to retrieve the theme name from the configuration file and apply it to your application:
private void Application_Startup(object sender, ExitEventArgs e) {
ApplicationThemeHelper.UpdateApplicationThemeName();
}
Display Windows System Color Theme
You can set the inherited ShowWin10SystemColorTheme property to true to display the Windows 10 System Colors theme in the theme selector. This theme takes the Windows app mode and accent color settings, applies it to your application, and updates your app appearance when a user changes these OS settings.
Refer to the following topic for more information: Use Windows Accent Color and App Mode.
Hide Themes from Theme Selector
You can use the Theme.ShowInThemeSelector property to hide a theme/theme category from the GalleryThemeSelectorBehavior.
The following code sample hides Office2007 and Metropolis theme categories, and the DeepBlue application theme:
<Window ...
xmlns:dxb="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/bars"
xmlns:dxmvvm="http://schemas.devexpress.com/winfx/2008/xaml/mvvm">

<dxb:GalleryControl>
<dxb:GalleryControl.Gallery>
<dxb:Gallery ColCount="3"
IsGroupCaptionVisible="True"
IsItemCaptionVisible="True"
IsItemDescriptionVisible="True"
ItemAutoWidth="True">
<dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
<dxb:GalleryThemeSelectorBehavior/>
</dxmvvm:Interaction.Behaviors>
</dxb:Gallery>
</dxb:GalleryControl.Gallery>
</dxb:GalleryControl>
</Grid>
</Window>
using DevExpress.Xpf.Core;
public partial class App : Application {
public App() {
foreach (Theme theme in Theme.Themes.ToList()) {
if (theme.Category == Theme.Office2007Category ||
theme.Category == Theme.MetropolisCategory ||
theme.Name == "DeepBlue") theme.ShowInThemeSelector = false;
}
}
}
Hide Touch Themes in XAML
