Hi Roberto,  
 
Thank you for using Syncfusion Products. 
 
Query : I want to seclect one ribbon style and hold this style for every ribbon elements.Which is the best practicies? 
 
Once you set the Ribbon style at the RibbonWindow using VisualStyle or SetTheme property, then the style would apply for all the elements in Ribbon.  You can refer about this in the following UG link: 
 
 
 
For more information about themes and Skinmanager, you can refer the following UG link:

Thanks for answer. My first goal is to have the ribbon menu in the MainWindow that change dynamically by click the TreeViewItem. For do this I have tried to use contentcontrol in mainwindow and in c# I set to Contentcontrol.Content the specific RibbonMenu (defined in an UserControl: RibbonUserControl1, RibbonUserControl2 , etc...). Each Ribbon menu have the same ApplicationMenu and QuickAccessToolbar but have different RibbonTan,RibbonBar and RibbonButton.
I would want to find the best way to have different Ribbon Object that contain tabs but one common ApplicationMenu and QuickAccessToolbar. So I want to merge one common Ribbon menu with second (specific) ribbon menu that contains RibbonTabs.

Thanks.

I have another doubt. 
If I add 
        xmlns:syncfusionskin="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.SfSkinManager;assembly=Syncfusion.SfSkinManager.WPF"
        syncfusionskin:SfSkinManager.VisualStyle="Office2016White"
in RibbonWindow and add Ribbon I have the correct skin but if I insert a RibbonWindow.Resources I lost the skin and appears the default skin.

How do I make for keeping the Office2016White skin?

Thanks.

When you apply the theme along with RibbonWindow resources , the theme will merge in to ribbonwindow resources and it will apply properly. So could you provide us the details such as how do you using RibbonWindow resource and if possible please send us the code that depicts RibbonWindow resource usage in your application or any reproducible sample, it would be helpful for us to provide you the accurate solution on this.  
  
Please let us know if you need any other assistance on this.

Good morning,

in the attach file there is a simple project with ribbon merge example. If I comment syncfusion:RibbonWindow.Resources I see the Office2016White correctly otherwise I see the default ribbon style.

Where is the problem?

Thanks.

Roberto

Hi Roberto, 
 
Thank you for your update. 
 
We have tried to reproduce the reported behavior "Theme does not applied properly on applying the office2019theme" and we could found that you are merging the resource dictionary in sample level after applying the theme as in the following code: 
 
Code:[XAML] 
 
 
<ResourceDictionary> 
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> 
<ResourceDictionary Source = "IconsDict.xaml" /> 
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> 
</ResourceDictionary> 
 
 
As you are implementing this code, it will take the default style and it will override the applied theme. So only the applied theme does not reflected properly for RibbonWindow. So we request you to remove this line of code and recommend you to merge this dictionary in app.xaml as in your modified sample and it can be downloaded from following location:
