Tsitsi demonstrates the new themes available for download and explains the scenarios they had in mind when they created the themes. The new themes include:

Jet Pack
Cosmopolitan
Windows 7
AccentColor

She also takes a deep look at the cosmopolitan theme and shows how you can customize it, if need be. Tsitsi wraps up by demonstrating some tips you can use to maintain design consistency in your application, including how to apply a simple behavior to your TextBox and content presenters. Tsitsi drops a ton of great design tips throughout this episode—you dont want to miss it.
