Absolutely Fantastic !
Works perfectly in VS2010 Thank you.

Amazing! The better is that it's not required to have the VS 11 Beta, as other Metro style shells available out there.

    • Hi Julian,
      
      I can't find the source code in description tab, will you still providing the source?
  • Default Colors and Settings
    2 Posts | Last Post May 04, 2013
    • Is there a way to default the Settings such as color, button location, and titles, so that I can control some of those as the developer instead of the user.
      
      Jim 
    • I'd really like this option to, just so we can default to our suggested theme.
      Did you find an answer to this.

  • Download link for the older versions
    5 Posts | Last Post April 02, 2013
    • Hi,
      
      Is it possible to provide a download link for earlier versions? I installed version 2 and unfortunately the black Metro look did not suite the application well, while I would like use it within Lightswitch 2011 applications.

    • Is it possible to get the .vsix file for version 1.9.1?
      
      Susan
    • Hi Susan,
      
      I have the source code for version 1.9.1, although I no longer see it displayed for download within the description page, so Julian might not wish to have it forked for further development. We will have to wait and see a response from him first before I proceed.

    • Hi,
      DedoOne can provide the link to the previous version without problems, I removed it for the sake of updating.
      
      I remember that the current version is still beta. However the same concept follows a difirente definition color palette that is a xml. The concept is to allow the developer to define a new file with the colors you want. I studying the point of extension to it.
    • I'm interested in the 1.9.1 version source, does DedoOne can provide it?

  • Error VS 2012 RC
    5 Posts | Last Post February 23, 2013
    • I'm getting the following error when I try to use your skin and theme with VS 2012 RC release.  Is this a known issue?  
      Error launching the screen. Error : Could not load file or assembly 'System.Xml.Serialization, Version=5.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The requested assembly version conflicts with what is already bound in the app domain or specified in the manifest. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131053)
    • Got this error too. :(
    • I have the same error also. :(
    • Great found the problem. Actually the error message was explanatory to me and figure out what went wrong.
      The error point to the System.Xml.Serialization.dll file ver:5.0.5.0.
      But if you load the extension to LS it replaces this file with an older version. What you have to do is remove that file from the project and reference the right version. 
      Hope it helps others.
    • Go to "File View" and add reference to System.Xml.Serialization.dll in Client project...

    • no plan to release the source of the extension?
    • source link in description tab
  • Localization for the theme
    2 Posts | Last Post December 08, 2012
    • Hello Julian,
      
      First let me thank you for this beautiful theme.
      I have a few of questions:
      1. Can you release some documentation on how to localize the theme? (i.e. translate the configuration screen and the 'More' button)
      2. Is there any way to add/change the color options? (i.e. add a new color set combination or replace the colors of an existing one)
      3. Would you consider releasing the source code (or have a pay-option to get the source)?
      
      Thank you in advance.
    • source link in description tab, localize the theme in Client\Presentation\Converters\LocalizedStringsConverter.cs and to modify existing themes will be a little more work, but can start in Client\ Presentation\Converters\ThemeIndexToColorPaletteConverter.cs

  • Issue with Document Toolkit for LightSwitch
    7 Posts | Last Post July 25, 2012
    • Julian,
      Thank you for this great shell and theme, this is beautiful. 
      
      I have a browser based application, it contains a screen with 5 tabs, in one of the tabs I have a datagrid and in a column of each row I have placed the Document Toolkit document viewer. When I click the tab containing this control the application freezes and the following error is given, 
      
      Line: 103
      Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application 
      Code: 4016    
      Category: ParserError       
      Message: Can only base on a Style with target type that is base type of this style's target type.     
      File:      
      Line: 143     
      Position: 137     
      
      . This doesn't happen with any of the other themes I have installed + LightSwitch default Shell. Also this happens in the LightSwitch default Shell + MetroTheme as well as Metro Shell + MetroTheme.
      
      Again thank you for this great shell and theme.
      
      Keith
    • Thanks for the info, I'll be trying to reproduce the problem to fix.
    • Problem solved, is working well in the next release.
    • Getting similar error in latest release:
      
      Line: 103
      Uncaught Error: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application 
      Code: 4004    
      Category: ParserError       
      Message: Set property '' threw an exception.     
      File:      
      Line: 22     
      Position: 36     
      
      Tried making a simple app with some very simple data and List and Details view; still get this error.
    • I'm also getting the same error as elryry - 4004 ParserError on setproperty at line 22, position 36.
      
      Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
    • I am using VS 2012 RC, I create a simple screen access SQL Data.
      I am also having problem with the PaulozziCo.MetroShell using together with PaulozziCo.MetroTheme.
      When I run the app, it freeze at Loading Screen (Loading...).
      
      Any update on this problem ? 
      Regards Dat.
