Hi.
This tool is really useful, but right now it's only possible to override the app bar colors if the system tray colors are overriden too, i.e. there's no ThemeManagerOverrideOptions.ApplicationBars.

This is a bit problematic for apps that want to override the theme and the system tray colors (built-in example: the OneNote app).

Could you please add that option ? Thanks.

(workaround for now: a MatchOverridenTheme call in each page's Loaded event)

As soon as I'm adding those two lines in the public App(), right under InitializePhoneApplication(); I'm receiving the following output:

            ThemeManager.OverrideOptions = ThemeManagerOverrideOptions.SystemTrayColors;
            ThemeManager.SetCustomTheme(this.Resources.MergedDictionaries[0], Theme.Light);

I'm not sure what's happening there and actually everything seems to be working just fine, still those exceptions doesn't look "that good"...?

Inside of OverrideTheme(...) is a block that only allows the theme to be overridden once per application startup.

I ran into a problem where a page with a DrawingSurfaceBackgroundGrid would start getting an InvalidOperationException saying it's not the first element when the theme is swapped. It was also reported here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wpdevelop/thread/4e4550a0-29df-4bd2-8589-2eb65fb6eb1c

In my WP8 app I use the ToLightTheme to have light theme in my app no matter what color scheme is set by the user. I also use the SetBackground method for setting light blue color as a Frame background color.
The problem is if user has while theme selected, then my custom background color is not applied, probably because the Theme Manager thinks that ToLightTheme does not need to be applied if white theme is already on.

If SetBackground is used, it should not be ignored in ToLightTheme or ToDarkTheme methods.

We are using ThemeManager to add a light theme to our project. However Context menu (Long press menu) item color don't invert with LightTheme and are not visible.

When I try to get the current PhoneBackgroundColor/PhoneForegroundColor etc. from Application.Current.Resources, it always return the phone original theme background color but not the theme I forced using theme manager

(I am using WP8)

I'm using custom colors for Systray in my app:

<Application.Resources> <ResourceDictionary> <Style x:Key="DefaultPageStyle" TargetType="phone:PhoneApplicationPage"> <Setter Property="shell:SystemTray.BackgroundColor" Value="#FF004FBD" /> <Setter Property="shell:SystemTray.ForegroundColor" Value="#FEFFFFFF" /> </Style> </ResourceDictionary> </Application.Resources>

I'm using Theme Manager to force dark theme in white themed device.

However, in this case it doesn't respect my settings and draws a black Systray with white foreground.

There's no way to set a TextBox.Header Color using a custom Theme.

I want to set a specific color for just one specific AppBar dynamically created, but ThemeManager always override the color of this AppBar. Note than there is others AppBar that need to be overrided, but just one (dynamically created) I dont want this behaviour, I want a custom color. Is that possible?

Hi, i have changed the colour to my app bar with BLUE and it works. When i use ThemeManager.ToDarkTheme(), colour's app bar changes to dark. How did it change the colour of my app bar with yours library?

Steps to reproduce:

• create new WP 7.1 project
• in main page constructor initialize SystemTray ProgressIndicator

  var progressIndicator = new ProgressIndicator();
  SystemTray.SetProgressIndicator(this, progressIndicator);
  progressIndicator.IsVisible = true;
  progressIndicator.Text = "Test";
  

• Launch application on the phone with light theme
• The text on the tray and the standard tray (time) are visible
• Close application and add themeManager via NuGet
• Switch to DarkTheme in App.xaml.cs
• Run the application.
• Now the text and tray is not visible

Thank you for resolving this issue.
BTW the library is awesome!
