Notes

The 0.13 release of MahApps.Metro marks a very important change in the MetroWindow infrastructure along with several other fixes and improvements.

We've also updated the MahApps.Metro.Resources NuGet package with the latest icons.

Features

Custom themes

MahApps.Metro now allows to define custom themes for the application. We've rewritten the ThemeManager for this (don't worry, your old code should still work, but most old methods are now marked as Obsolete)

To add a theme, use the new AddAppTheme theme method.

Completely rewritten BorderlessWindowBehavior

The BorderlessWindowBehavior has been completely rewritten, to fix a number of issues that have accumulated over time.

For a complete list of fixes, see PR #1156

Auto-closing flyouts

Flyouts now have an option to be automatically closed when the user clicks outside of the flyout. We renamed the property IsPinnable (that had no use) to IsPinned for this. IsPinned is true by default and, if set to false, enables the auto-closing feature.

RangeSlider

The RangeSlider control has been completely rewritten because it was unusably broken before.

See PR #1055 for more info.
