Themes in WPF DataGrid (SfDataGrid)

SfDataGrid provides built-in themes which can be applied using SfSkinManager and also provides support to create custom theme using theme studio.

Built-in Themes

The appearance of SfDataGrid control can be customized by VisualStyle attached property of the SfSkinManager. You can find the list of available built-in themes and the assemblies needs to be referred in the below documentation link.

Below example explains how to apply blend theme for SfDataGrid using SfSkinManager in an existing application.

• Add reference to Syncfusion.SfSkinManager.Wpf.dll and Syncfusion.Themes.Blend.Wpf.dll assembly.
• Now add reference to SfSkinManager namespace and set SfSkinManager.VisualStyle attached property to window or SfDataGrid. Setting VisualStyle property to window will apply blend theme for all controls in Windows.
  xaml

  <Window x:Class="VisualStylesDemo.MainWindow"
                               xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                               xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"                             
                               xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf"
                               xmlns:local="clr-namespace:VisualStylesDemo"
                               xmlns:skinManager="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSkinManager;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSkinManager.WPF"
                               Title="Visual Styles Demo"  Icon="App.ico"
                               Width="1200" Height="720"
                               WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen">
      <syncfusion:SfDataGrid x:Name="dataGrid"
                          AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                          skinManager:SfSkinManager.VisualStyle="Blend"
