I added the "xmlns:theming=" line as suggested and added the two "theming:" properties within a <border ...> tag. There is a message that the ImplicitStyleManager does not have those properties.

I did also add the xaml for the theme to the root folder of the navigation example project.

What am I missing?

I'm not sure, sorry. Did you add a reference to the System.Windows.Controls.Theming.Toolkit.dll assembly in your project?

Note: This was written 2 years ago, for Silverlight 3, and the ImplicityStyleManager is now obsolete as of Silverlight 4. I'd no longer recommend using it - instead you should use Silverlight's native support for implicit styles now.

Chris,

I am indeed using Silverlight 4. Would you be referring to referencing the dll for a particular theme ... then define a tag for that theme?

Do a Google search for implicit styles, and you'll find some info that will help you. Also, take a look at these themes that were developed for Silverlight 4 (and are much nicer than the previous themes):

I'm going away for a week now, so won't be able to respond to any further queries during that time.

Hope this helps...
