Changing The MahApps Metro Theme

I know that the MahApps metro theme comes with "themes" (colour sets), but I don't know how to change them from the default settings in my WPF application.

I have followed the beginners tutorial at MahApps.Metro Documentation (including adding the resource libraries at the top of the page), but it makes no mention about changing the theme.

The component/Styles/Colours.xaml file has the comment "from the cosmopolitan theme pack", which may be a helpful clue to someone better versed in WPF design than me.

I'm talking about an app-wide theme change, not an individual control.

If you want to change the default colour scheme, just change which colour resource file is loaded.

from Blue:

    <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/Blue.xaml" />

to Red:

    <ResourceDictionary Source="pack://application:,,,/MahApps.Metro;component/Styles/Accents/Red.xaml" />

You can also change programatically (once you've loaded every colour resource file) using ThemeManager.ChangeTheme().
