Use the ThemeResource Extension to Load Resources from DevExpress Themes Dynamically

The ThemeResource extension allows you to load a resource from a currently applied DevExpress theme without specifying the theme name in xaml and reload the resource if a theme is changed. You can reference the resource in xaml:

<Border Background="{dxi:ThemeResource {dxt:FloatingContainerThemeKey ResourceKey=FloatingContainerBackground}}" />
