Global winforms styling - winforms

Are there global styles in Winforms as there are in WPF?
I'd like to be able to, for example, set ForeColor to be used by all the labels that exist within the app. Is there any solution, or do I have to do the changes manually for all the controls separately?

Most controls will inherit the font from their parent - so try setting the font styles you want on the window.

How to change windows style with MaterialDesign in wpf

I use MaterialDesign for style controls in wpf add.
I change all controls use MaterialDesign theme. I want to change windows style(WindowTitle, close,min,max button).
How to change this?
For this purpose you need to set Window Style (Border settings) = None and need to set user controls manually and apply code as per your requirement.
Or you can built your own custom control for this.

Menu/Toolbar color in WPF app

So I have a simple WPF app with a menu and a toolbar/toolbartray inside a Grid. By default, the colors don't match (the menu is grey and the toolbar is blue - see image)
I have tried specifically setting the background color but there are then other issues (toolbar overflow button colors and sub menu colors.)
Strikes me that by default, the colors should match and also match the system theme. Is there a magic setting? Surely I can't need to specifically style everything?
Thanks
Get default ControlTemplates of that controls.
Menu
ToolBar
Add new ResourceDictionary to your project and insert that templates
Change background properties in root Borders of templates.

Define the defaults values of winform controls

I have an app(new app) to developpe, changing all values like Font style and TextBox height and other properties of all controls in application is so hard, can i fixing this in the for example app.conf! and how do i express that ?
For example:
i want to use Font Segio, 11 for all Label controls
RowHeight by default use 35 for all Grids-View in my application
You can set the font of the form(or their parent control) and all of its child controls will inherit the font of its parent.
Also you can read the font from config file and set that in you form.
Google "Reading from config file c#" if you don't know that yet.

How do I change all the Silverlight Telerik RadButton colors at run time?

This question is in regard to the Telerik RadButtons for Silverlight. I have themes per customer on the site where Silverlight is used. I am able to change the background and foreground colors by setting the Background and Foreground brush properties. However, the styles revert to the standard colors while hovering over the button. How do I change the colors for all button states?
I attempted to set the Resources dictionary as shown on Telerik Styles, but it appears to be read-only.
More information on how to style a RadButton you can find here: http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radbuttons-styles-and-templates-overview.html

How do I set the theme for child controls with Infragistics?

I'm using the Infragistics WPF controls in a new project, and I'd like to take advantage of their themes support. I'm able to change the theme of my window (and toolbars) via the OnThemeChanged event, but I can't figure out how to change the theme of child controls (such as the XamDockManager), as they're added at runtime.
I'm new to WPF and Infragistics controls so any clarification is appreciated.
I discovered the answer.
You need to set the control's Theme property to Theme.CurrentTheme. This will cause the controls to automatically pick up the new theme via their internal OnThemeChanged events.
This is the code I used, simplified a bit for this answer:
<igDock:ContentPane xmlns:igTheme="clr-namespace:Infragistics.Windows.Themes;assembly=Infragistics3.Wpf.v9.1">
// other stuff
...
<igDock:XamDockManager "Theme="igTheme:ThemeManager.CurrentTheme" />
</igDock:ContentPane>
