Metro Shell and Metro Theme allow you can change the background and colour with amazing colors palette in the best metro style. All of the personalisation settings you know and love are still here too, and you can still use them to personalise the apps. (Beta version)
Perfect, modern and Amazing theme ever thanx Julian,, but i have little problem when i lunch the app... 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)
Fantastic shell and theme! People contributing this kind of quality add-ins to LightSwitch is what is helping to make this such a fantastic dev environment so kudos to you Julian and thanks!
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.

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.

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 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)
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.
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
I got the error as below in VS 2012 we I tried this shell.
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.

Any Suggestion?
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

Message: Can only base on a Style with target type that is base type of this style's target type.

. 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.

Tried making a simple app with some very simple data and List and Details view; still get this error.
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.
