Ribbon and NavigationBar get new Aero themes

The latest maintenance release 4.5.0475 of WPF Studio adds new attractive Aero themes for Ribbon and NavigationBar. These new Aero themes match great with our other WPF products such as Docking & MDI.

Additionally we've added a Change Theme button to the top of our Sample Browser. This lets you quickly set the application-wide theme for the Sample Browser. You can even use the Change Theme button in our XBAP live demos.

Note how Ribbon and Docking & MDI now look great together in Aero. The above screenshot was taken with glass effects disabled so that you can see how RibbonWindow renders with its Aero theme when used on XP systems.

Enjoy the updates!
