Customization overview

Restyle a Lync Control by changing property values to control the appearance of the Lync Control. Retemplate a Lync Control by assigning a new or modified visual template to it to take fine-grained control over its layout and design.

Note
In Microsoft Expression Blend, using the Edit Additional Template command with a Lync Control creates the following exception: XamlParseException: Add value to collection of type "System.Object" threw an exception. This exception occurs because the command sets the template more than once. The workaround is to close and then reopen the document in Expression Blend.
