I've noticed that Blend likes to make resources dynamic where static
will do. It's probably some Blend strategy to make resources work in a
variety of circumstances.
Once we get to development, we find the XAML from the prototype doesn't
quite work with the production code and we have to tweak some things.
It's at this point that we ensure the resources are tied down so we don'
t get performance problems, memory leaks, etc.
[I should point out that the Blend vision of working a prototype through
to production code doesn't work with solutions of the scale that my
company works on. Our prototypes are purely for design, discussion,
analysis, and documentation processes and most of the XAML gets thrown
away once the prototype is complete.]

I wonder why those need to be DynamicResource's? Is that just because
that's Blend's view of the world?

From: [email protected]
I understand now. It is nothing special. Just the fontfamily and
fontsize is inhereted from parent panel.
I created a new style very easily by copying one of the others from
SketchStyles.xaml.
This can be done I suppose for any UI element that doesn't have a
default sketch style :
<Style x:Key="BasicListView-Sketch" TargetType="{x:Type ListView}"
d:StyleDefaultContent="Basic Text">
<Setter Property="FontFamily" Value="{DynamicResource
FontFamily-Sketch}"/>
<Setter Property="FontSize" Value="16"/>
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="{DynamicResource
BaseForeground-Sketch}"/>
</Style>
