Kickstart your WPF PRISM Application with Telerik controls by using this WPF Bootstrap. It creates a project structure for a WPF PRISM application, then goes on to integrate with the Telerik WPF UI controls to provide a docking and tab enriched user interface where PRISM modules are injected into tabs dynamically.
WPF Bootstrap also provides the infrastructure for a "skinnable" WPF application- where the user can dynamically change color and icon resources from a menu option. The bootstrap ships with a default, light and dark skin to get you started.
