copied!<p>I would suggest that you are trying too hard. All you need to do is to change the Style on the Window itself. Leave the dictionaries alone. :-)</p> <p>Here is an example that changes a windows style when you click from the list of available styles.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/OECCn.png" alt="How to style"></p> <p>My command boils down to </p> <pre><code> //Here I am changing the style on the window NewWindow.Style = ((StyleDetailsViewModel)x).Style; NewWindow.Show(); </code></pre> <p>with various input data</p> <pre><code> public StylingViewModel(Func<string, Style> findStyle) { Styles = new StyleDetailsViewModel[] { new StyleDetailsViewModel { Name = "None", Description = "Completely remove all styling and show the raw NavigationWindow including default navigation elements", WindowStyleNone = false, Image = "\\Resources\\WindowStyleNone.png" }, new StyleDetailsViewModel { Name = "PlainWindow", Style = findStyle("PlainWindow"), Description = "Hides the navigation elemetns of the NavigationWindow to make it look just like a normal window", WindowStyleNone = false, Image = "\\Resources\\WindowStylePlain.png" }, new StyleDetailsViewModel { Name = "Windows 7", Style = findStyle("Win7NavigationWindow"), Description = "Uses glass effects to create a window that looks almost identical to the control panel from Windows 7.", WindowStyleNone = false, Image = "\\Resources\\WindowStyleWin7Nav.png" }, </code></pre> <p>and </p> <pre><code> this.DataContext = new StylingViewModel(x => (Style)this.FindResource(x)); </code></pre> <p>Also beware of certain Window properties that can only be set before the window opens, such as <code>WindowStyle="None"</code> which you need if you are doing custom chrome. </p>
