(It almost seems like the Windows 8 theme needs to support a dictionary of palettes, keyed by some string. I suppose that's just a global text search&replace on the theme files, but it doesn't seem optimal to me. We would have to make a copy of Windows 8 theme, then, and instead of binding to Windows8Palette, we'd have to bind to something else. This thread () suggests that using implicit styles and loading them into the resource dictionary of the parts of the UI that we want to () might work. Given that - what's the best way to achieve this affect? The Windows8 theme is nice because we only need to set a few colors, but Windows8Palette is a singleton that affects the entire application.

We have a requirement that different parts of the UI should be able to have a different color scheme.
