OT: Styling WPF Application

Hi,

I know this is off topic, but I'm hoping someone here as done something similar.

I need to brand my application.  Everything will be the same as far as controls go, but I need to change the colors based on a database setting.  My normal color scheme is the Office 2003 / 2007 blue, and I have three others; Silver, Green and Red. 

In WinForms, the Infragistics AppStyling helped a lot.  With Wpf of course, everything can be styled... but I'm not an artist, and I just want the easist way to style the controls.

Any suggestions?

A co-worker of my is working with expression blend and all the other visual aspects of our WPF application.

I know he made an application-wide theme which works just like ASP.Net theme.

I don't know any more details about it, only that it's possible. I might look at the code if noone else can help u any further.

Hmm... I've been trying to use Blend, but it doesn't seem to really work well with seeing the changes immediately.  Maybe I just need to find a tutorial on it or something.

Thanks!
