Where can I download Microsoft's standard WPF themes from?

Question

Microsoft has made their Classic, Luna, Royale, and Aero themes for WPF available for download as XAML resource dictionaries.

Where can I download them from? I can never find the link!

The download links are identical between .NET 3.0 and .NET 3.5--only the online documentation is different.

These themes have changed from .Net 4.0 to .Net 4.5 (you can see this by decompiling the installed assemblies, look at the template for `ListView` and there is an extra condition to account for the `VirtualizingPanel.IsVirtualizingWhenGrouping` property) however I cannot find a corresponding download for the updated themes - any idea where they can be found? – Justin May 22 '13 at 14:43
I second Justin, where are they? For example I can't find the ribbon stuff. – naeron84 Feb 07 '14 at 09:36

Ribbon wasn't in the original library. That was a separate library from Microsoft specifically for that control. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff799534(v=vs.110).aspx – Xcalibur37 Jun 26 '14 at 12:38

The links are broken and are also missing the Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 themes, where can I get those? – bitbonk Oct 20 '15 at 13:58
@bitbonk I've fixed the links. I don't believe Microsoft has released WPF themes for Windows 8 or 10. Feel free to update the answer if you discover any. – sourcenouveau Oct 20 '15 at 17:33
None of the links work anymore and therefore these xaml's don't seem to be available anymore. Pity. – Philip Stuyck Jul 20 '18 at 23:07
In *Developer Command Prompt* `$env:VSINSTALLDIR\DesignTools\SystemThemes\Wpf` a.k.a. `%VSINSTALLDIR%\DesignTools\SystemThemes\Wpf` which is usually like `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Preview\DesignTools\SystemThemes\Wpf` – Eric Jun 01 '20 at 20:02
