2 Questions: sfskinmanager vs skinstorage and

[Tom]

2 small questions

1 - this link talks about the difference between skinstorage and sfskinmanager

https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/137317/how-to-apply-themes-application-wide-i-want-to-apply-theme-to-both-syncfusion-and-native

but is it ok to use them at the same time, as the skinstorage enables you to set the MetroBrush which the skinmanager doesnt?

2 - I wanted to style individual controls, the top two lines below work, but not the last one for the Saffron theme .. is there a different syntax that needs to be used?

thanks

Hi Tom,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Query 1: But is it ok to use them at the same time, as the skinstorage enables you to set the MetroBrush which the skinmanager doesnt?

We have checked your reported query and we can apply theme from SkinStorage and SfSkinManager at the same time but for different controls respectively. We do not recommend setting SkinStorage and SfSkinManager for the same control at the same time as it will lead to UI rendering issues as both the styles will get conflict. Please find the sample in the following location in which we have set themes using SkinStorage for certain controls and SfSkinManager for other controls.

Sample: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/150873/ze/SkinStorage_SfSkinManagerDemo1-958310186  

Query 2: I wanted to style individual controls, the top two lines below work, but not the last one for the Saffron theme .. is there a different syntax that needs to be used?

Can you please let us know which lines of code are you referring here? Similar to other SfSkinManager themes, we can apply Saffron theme using the below code.

Code snippet C# :

 

SfSkinManager.SetVisualStyle(button2, VisualStyles.Saffron); 

 

Code snippet XAML:

 

skin:SfSkinManager.VisualStyle="Saffron" 

 

Please let us know if you have any further queries.

Regards,
Gokul S
