The themes MetroLight, MetroDark, Office2007 Blue, Office2007 Black and Office2007 Silver is only available in the "Plus" version.

To use the Metro theme, you need the following references ;
-Xceed,Wpf.Themes
-Xceed,Wpf.Themes.Metro //for core controls
-Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.Themes.Metro //for toolkit controls

To use the Office2007 themes, you need the following references ;
-Xceed,Wpf.Themes
-Xceed,Wpf.Themes.Office2007
-Xceed.Wpf.Toolkit.Themes.Office2007
