Build and Export New Themes
The Theme Designer allows you to build ready to use theme assemblies, and export edited theme as a Visual Studio solution for further editing and building. This topic covers both of these scenarios.
Publish Edited Themes
You need to build a theme assembly to apply a theme to your application. Click the ribbon’s Publish item to build your theme assembly.
When the build is completed, the Theme Designer prompts you to open a folder with the published assembly.
Note
The default location of a theme assembly file is “C:\Users\%user_name%\Documents\Theme Designer\%theme_name%\.td\Publish".
Export Edited Themes
The Theme Designer allows you to export the theme project as a Visual Studio solution. You can edit and build the exported theme in Visual Studio.
Follow the next steps to export a theme:
- go to the Export tab
- specify the folder where you want to export your solution
- click the Export button.
