A couple of quick “how-tos” on WPF/XAML topics:
1. Data binding via Dependency Properties

A nice, concise tutorial about how to set up a simple binding to user objects.
2. Using the CodePlex WPF Themes (http://wpfthemes.codeplex.com/) via Nuget:

These WPF themes are not necessarily the most stable or reliable as-is, at least with the quick test I did.
They might be more useful as a good starting point for learning about/implementing one’s own themes, and then fixing the individual problems that are encountered in testing and usage, they are open-source after all.
WhistlerBlue seems to work OK, some of the others would not display my simple, databound to-static-XML TreeView either correctly or at all, so beware.
