You can also apply themes to your standard Microsoft Ribbon control for WPF by using C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon. The following steps illustrate applying themes to the MS Ribbon control.

1. Add following namespace in the xaml file and create application to add MS Ribbon control.
   
   

   xmlns:ribbon="clr-namespace:System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon;assembly=System.Windows.Controls.Ribbon"
   

   
   

2. Add following code to apply themes to ribbon control.
   
   Visual Basic

   Private Sub ApplyTheme(name As String)
                Dim theme As C1Theme = Nothing
                Dim ribbonTheme As C1Theme = Nothing
               Select Case name
                    Case "Cosmopolitan"
                       ribbonTheme = New C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon.C1ThemeRibbonCosmopolitan()
                        Exit Select
                    Case "Cosmopolitan Dark"
                       ribbonTheme = New C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon.C1ThemeRibbonCosmopolitanDark()
                        Exit Select
                    Case "Office2013 White"
                       ribbonTheme = New C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon.C1ThemeRibbonOffice2013White()
                        Exit Select
                    Case "Office2013 LightGray"
                       ribbonTheme = New C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon.C1ThemeRibbonOffice2013LightGray()
                        Exit Select
                    Case "Office2013 DarkGray"
                       ribbonTheme = New C1.WPF.Theming.Ribbon.C1ThemeRibbonOffice2013DarkGray()
                    Case Else
                        Exit Select
                End Select
                'apply  ribbon theme
                ribbonTheme.Apply(ribbon)
