WPF DataGrid style-Silverlight DataGrid?

Question

That\'s not a secret: Silverlight\'s DataGrid default style is beautiful while WPF\'s is poor.

Instead of reinventing the wheel let me ask the community

Answer 1

I voted for both of the connect site bugs too, this really should follow the system theme properly by default!

However in the mean time I found a useful post by Malav Dhalgara which includes the following example that can be used to enable Aero theme's for controls in the WPFToolkit. Assuming from the date that Shimmy posted this question that this example wasn't comming from the DataGrid in .NET 4.0 but I could be wrong and maybe it was from one of the beta's or RCs. Anyway here is one example workaround for those using the WPFToolkit.

        
            

                
                

                

                    
                    
                                                 Aero.NormalColor

                    
                                                 Aero.NormalColor

                    
                                                 Aero.NormalColor
