Apply Office 2007 themes for WPF application

Question

I am using the RibbonControl from WPF toolkit. It has the Office Blue, Black and Silver themes. But the the theme is not applying for the controls in the window. Is there any solution for that?

I am aplying the theme like

 <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/RibbonControlsLibrary;component/Themes/Office2007Black.xaml"/>
 </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

But the controls are like button, textbox are not chaged.

You need a separate resource dictionary to provide WPF styles to various controls. I created my own, by sampling the colors on various apps. It's really not very hard to do, and it olny took me a couple of hours.

If you are looking for a quick and easy solution, try the WPF Themes. The Bureau Blue theme looks pretty much like Office 2007 blue.
