<Application x:Class="WLDA.Server.App" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"> <Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/Fluent;Component/Themes/Windows8/Generic.xaml" /> </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources> </Application>

Test App

Answer 1

This might be caused by the Fluent Ribbon styles being automatically added by Orchestra for you (and they default to Office 2013).

One solution could be to remove the existing dictionary from Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries and add the Windows 8 instead.

You could use the Orchestra repository (with examples) to test if this works.
