Recently I was using a window style with MahAppsMetro, now it applies the styles at application level. One of the things I am doing is embedding AvalonEdit in one such window.

Now, of course I do want to keep Metro Style for my application, however want to keep AvalonEdit styling intact as well.

Thinking further the simplest thing to do would be to be to somehow disable inheritance of styles at some level. I found a post on stackoverflow discussing this. However for me it was not to stop inheriting styles but to fallback to theme. Documentation on this topic is pretty scarce.
