The Microsoft Silverlight team has put together three Silverlight 4 themes that they are making publicly available. If you're starting a new Silverlight business application, or want to add a consistent look and feel to your existing business application, take a look at these themes. I have found them to be a good starting point, and easily customizable.

As of 8/2010, there are three themes (with more on the way): Accent Color, Windows 7, and Cosmopolitan. You can install the Visual Studio templates, or download the XAML files and include them within your existing project.

Accent Color Theme

This theme focuses on clean styling with a splash of color. Green not your thing? That's ok, the accent color can be easily customized. Accent Color Demo

Windows 7 Theme

This theme gives a little more native look and feel to your users (assuming they are using Windows 7). Window 7 Demo

Cosmopolitan

Inspired by the Metro UX of Windows Phone 7 and Microsoft Zune, this theme has a clean, modern style. Cosmopolitan Demo
