Silverlight Childwindow + Implicit Style not working

Using Silverlight 4, we can't seem to get Childwindows' to show our implicit styles. Every other control on our app takes the implicit styles but the childwindow (even the controls on the childwindow take their implicit styles)

(we are using the toolkit styles)

This would appear to be an issue with Silverlight 4 in that the default style key is not set to the typeof(ChildWindow).

Either inherit your own class from "ChildWindow" and in the constructor set the following:

DefaultStyleKey = typeof(MyChildWindow);

Or alternatively use an explicit style by creating a "key" and applying that style key on the childwindow control.

Color="{StaticResource ExpressionBottomGradientBrush2}"

please note that if ExpressionBottomGradientBrush2 is defined as a System.Windows.Media.SolidColorBrush, you can't set it to System.Windows.Media.Color.

If you have any errors in your child window's style, it just won't apply, I guess that's the reason you can't see it. :)
