Create Professional WPF Applications with world's first WPF ribbon control

Wpf-Ribbon is the fully compliant Office 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007 style Ribbon control developed from ground-up for Windows Presentation Foundation

Custom Color Schemes

Wpf-Ribbon™ includes 3 predefined color schemes: Blue, Silver and Black that closely follow Office 2007 color schemes. While you can completely customize every visual aspect of Wpf-Ribbon™ the process of doing so is very time intensive. There are over 400 unique colors in Wpf-Ribbon™ color table.

With Wpf-Ribbon™ we include our unique color scheme generation algorithms that allow you to create unlimited number of color schemes based on just single color you specify and one of our built-in color tables. Image below shows additional color tables created using single line of code. Sample included with the Wpf-Ribbon™ shows how to do that.
