You can define a different look and feel based on the desktop theme by adding a resource dictionary to the Themes folder. The desktop theme determine which resource dictionary is used. Here is a list the resource dictionary file names and the desktop themes:

1. Classic.xaml – “Classic” Windows 9x/2000 look on Windows XP.
2. Luna.NormalColor.xaml – Default blue theme on Windows XP.
3. Luna.Homestead.xaml – Olive theme on Windows XP.
4. Luna.Metallic.xaml – Silver theme on Windows XP.
5. Royale.NormalColor.xaml – Default theme on Windows XP Media Center Edition.
