Getting started

See the full starting guide for more in-depth information.

This quick guide assumes you have already created a WPF project and are using Microsoft Visual Studio 2022.

Install the toolkit through the visual NuGet package manager in Visual Studio or use the following command:

Install-Package MaterialDesignThemes

Alter your App.xaml

<Application 
  x:Class="Example.App"
  xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
  xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
  xmlns:materialDesign="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes"
  StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
    <Application.Resources>
        <ResourceDictionary>
            <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
                <materialDesign:BundledTheme BaseTheme="Light" PrimaryColor="DeepPurple" SecondaryColor="Lime" />

                <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf;component/Themes/MaterialDesign2.Defaults.xaml" /> 
            </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        </ResourceDictionary>
    </Application.Resources>
</Application>

If you want to target Material Design 3, alter the ResourceDictionary line in the snippet above to use MaterialDesign3.Defaults.xaml.
Alter your MainWindow.xaml

<Window [...]
  Style="{StaticResource MaterialDesignWindow}"
  [...] >

XML Namespaces

The toolkit exposes two XML namespaces for use in XAML:

Prefix	URI	Description
`materialDesign`	`http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes`	Primary namespace for all public Material Design types, controls, and converters.
`materialDesignInternal`	`http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes-internal`	Namespace for types in internal sub-namespaces (`MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Internal`, `MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Converters.Internal`, `MaterialDesignThemes.Wpf.Behaviors.Internal`).

Types exposed via the materialDesignInternal namespace are considered internal implementation details and are not guaranteed to maintain backwards-compatibility between versions. Use them at your own risk.

To use the internal namespace in XAML:

<Window ...
  xmlns:materialDesignInternal="http://materialdesigninxaml.net/winfx/xaml/themes-internal">

Building the source

To build the project, following is required:

Microsoft Visual Studio 2022
.NET desktop development workload

This repository also contains 3 different demo applications:

MaterialDesignDemo - Reference WPF app with Material Design 2 styling, this contains all controls and is a recommended tool when developing apps with this library
MaterialDesign3Demo - Reference WPF app with Material Design 3 styling, under development
MahAppsDragablzDemo - Demo app for combining with Dragablz and MahApps
