How do you edit styles in WPF 4.5 under Windows 7?

Question

I just realised that Blend for Visual Studio 2012 does not support WPF apps under W7.

Once I opened a window I can only see raw XAML.

I need to edit a style for a chart dataseries System.Windows.Controls.DataVisualization.Charting. I normally use Blend for these kind of tasks - because it pulls default styles from somewhere and gives it to you in a blink of an eye.

now I am stuck.. what would you guys do?

P.S. here is nice summary for future references: http://blendinsider.com/technical/available-now-blend-for-visual-studio-2012-2012-08-15/

(scroll down to see the table what version supports what)

You need to use the Blend Preview that supports WPF apps.

Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 will have a released version of Blend which supports WPF...in the meantime use the preview one.
