It is not working that way :)
You also don't have to create a second window if you just want to change the look and feel.

Design your MainWindow and put your styles into a ResourceDictionary. Then you can apply the according style depending on a button click-event.

Have a look at the style class[^] or the styling and templating documentation[^].

Actually that's why I gave you the two links. The second one is showing exactly what you are asking for ^^

You cannot request "I want to use some other XAML file" in a productive way, because you mess up the question with your idea of the solution. You should address it separately. First, explain your ultimate goals, what application should do and why, without any preoccupation with any ideas on how you want to do it.

This is reasonable, my 5. Only OP if too far from all that, but it's hard to help in a quick answer.
