My projects Edi and Aehnlich are powered by this project.

AvalonDock is a WPF Document and Tool Window layout container that is used to arrange documents and tool windows in similar ways than many well known IDEs, such as, Eclipse, Visual Studio, PhotoShop and so forth. Here are some CodeProject articles:

This repository contains additional bug fixes and a feature added fork from: https://github.com/xceedsoftware/wpftoolkit

Be sure to checkout the Wiki for more details. The repository also contains a Log4Net branch for debugging interactive issues with a close enough branch. There are also Log4Net demo executables in the 3.4.01 (or later) realease for additional debugging fun.

Feature Added - Dark and Light VS 2013 Theme

Please review the Project Wiki to see more demo screenshots. All screenshots below are from the MLib based VS 2013 Dark (Accent Color Gold)/Light (Accent Color Blue) theme on Windows 10. Similar theming results should be possible with other theming libraries since the implementation follow these guidelines.

The Docking Buttons are defined in XAML, which ensures a good looking image on all resolutions, even 4K or 8K, and enables us to color theme consistently with the Window 10 Accent Color.

Theming

Using the Xceed.Wpf.AvalonDock.Themes.VS2013 theme is very easy with Dark and Light themes. Just load Light or Dark brush resources in you resource dictionary to take advantage of existing definitions.

    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/Xceed.Wpf.AvalonDock.Themes.VS2013;component/DarkBrushs.xaml" />
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
    <ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
        <ResourceDictionary Source="/Xceed.Wpf.AvalonDock.Themes.VS2013;component/LightBrushs.xaml" />
    </ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>

These definitions do not theme all controls used within this library. You should use a standard theming library, such as:

to also theme standard elements, such as, button and textblock etc.
