I was attempting to change the color of the SystemTray, but for some reason I cannot get it to work correctly. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="True"
shell:SystemTray.BackgroundColor="Cyan"
Is this not correct?
shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="True"
shell:SystemTray.BackgroundColor="Cyan"
Is the proper solution. I am using PhoneThemeManager from NuGet which automatically overrides device defaults to force either light or dark theme. Setting the SystemTray.Background using the above code is causing the Background to be white. Not sure how to fix this specific issue, but in all other cases the above code should work.

I've updated my IntelliJ IDEA and after the update the javadoc`s became almost useless, as a big white block:
However, when I use any default theme from the IDE, it works just fine:
This is happening to any non default theme in IntelliJ IDEA.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
It's a known issue caused by the custom color scheme not inheriting Darcula and instead inheriting the white background Default scheme.
The solution is to either edit the scheme .xml file to make in inherit Darcula or to change the documentation background color:
I'm trying to create a dark mode for my application made in Xcode 8. My first though was to use Mojave's Dark Aqua, but I get many errors:
Unrecognized effect parameter type 10 encountered for effect type 1131375730. Skipping.
My next idea was to create my own .car file, using https://github.com/insidegui/AppearanceMaker. However, this did not change the background/window, even when I edited its Windows and Menus/Menu/Menu Background and its Colors/Window Background.
My third idea was to use El Capitan's Dark Theme (for the dark Menu and Dock, I'd assume). However, this changed the Aqua blue to a grey. Laaaaame.
What am I to do?
At the end of the day, Mojave's DarkAquaAppearance worked! I needed to set my NSWindow to the theme. (using yourNSWindow.appearance = [[NSAppearance alloc] initWithAppearanceNamed:#"DarkAquaAppearance" bundle:nil];, making sure that DarkAquaAppearance.car is in your "Supporting Files")
If you want to do the same, I have all the Mojave appearances in https://github.com/radzo73/Mojave-Appearances. It still will call errors about "Unrecognized effect parameter", but that's probably just the compressed assets, and I'm using an older system. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
With (real) hope,

I am currently using ImageResizer from Imazen (http://imageresizing.net/)
I want to create images with the same dimensions which is easily achieved by adding the
www.example.com/example.png?w=150&h=150
however i want to give a bgcolor to the image for background/whitespace color.
again www.example.com/example.png?w=150&h=150&bgcolor=FF00FF works perfectly.
However is there a way to make this bgcolor transparant? (ofcourse only for .png's)
I read the docs and couldn't find a plugin or basic functionality that could provide this feature. Does anyone know if (or how) this can be achieved?
Use a 6-digit hex value (RRGGBBAA) to include an alpha/transparency component.
I'm making a Windows Phone 7 application and I'm a bit confused with dark/light themes.
With a panorama, you very often set a background image. The issue is it's very hard to make a picture which is right for both dark and light themes. How are we supposed to proceed?
Is there a way to force a dark/light theme for a panorama? This will avoid making theme-specific panorama background pictures. Then how do I do? I found xaml files in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Design. If this is a right way to proceed, how can I import them for my panorama?
Or if there's no way (or if it's wrong) to force a dark/light theme: how to write conditional XAML to set correct resources? Now I have the following XAML (default.xaml) which is fine with the dark theme:
<ImageBrush x:Key="PageBackground" ImageSource="Resources/PageBackground.png" Stretch="None" />
<ImageBrush x:Key="PanoramaBackground" ImageSource="Resources/PanoramaBackground.png" Stretch="None" />
But when I use a light theme, black controls and black texts are hard to read with my dark background pictures. So I made different pictures that I can use this way:
<ImageBrush x:Key="PageBackground" ImageSource="Resources/PageBackgroundLight.png" Stretch="None" />
<ImageBrush x:Key="PanoramaBackground" ImageSource="Resources/PanoramaBackgroundLight.png" Stretch="None" />
Now my issue is to make XAML conditional to declare the right thing depending on the current theme.
I found no relevant way on the Internet. I would prefer not to use code or code-behind for that because I believe XAML is able to do this (I just don't know how).
EDIT: Code snippet to load a xaml file as ResourceDictionary
string xaml = null;
StreamResourceInfo xamlInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("light.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(xamlInfo.Stream))
xaml = sr.ReadToEnd();
dic = (ResourceDictionary)XamlReader.Load(xaml);
this.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(dic);
To force a dark or white theme you can indeed use the styles defined in the folder you pointed out. Copy and Paste the rules you need to your App.xaml (just PhoneForegroundColor, PhoneBackgroundColor and the related Brushes would be a good start).
It's probably better though to stay "theme-aware" and load a different image for light and dark themes. Here is an article explaining how to do this: http://blog.jayway.com/2010/12/16/theme-aware-panorama-background-in-windows-phone-7/
There is another possibility I've found: You can use the Coding4Fun Toolkit Converter according to these instructions. However, I'm unable to use correctly use them.
Another possibiliy is to use an OpacityMask. But this only works for black/white images :/
Yousef's solution looks interesting. but it takes too much time to load. The image will be changed round about 1s after the app started. I've tested this on a Nokia 820. I've moved the call for setting the DataContext in a Loaded Event, which was called much later. Now the call takes place in the constructor, so the image will be already set when the application displays it. However, it still adds more loading time :( Any suggestions on how to improve this?
During loading of a Flex 3 built application, it always shows this blue-grayish background color. I've tried a handful of tips, building preloaders etc, and all that works, but even before the preloaders kick in, that blue-grayish color is displayed. I've tried lots of ways to change it, like editing compiler options, setting background image to an empty string etc, but nothing works.
I had this same issue and spent a good hour looking for a solution. To the best of my understanding, the blueish-grey color is directly set from the HTML file generated from index.template.hmtl. There is a binding in that file under <param name="bgcolor" value="{bgcolor}" /> that sets the background color. I'm assuming that bgcolor should be pulled from the backgroundColor you set in your Application. And you could also just try hard coding your value in that param also.
To get past the default 'bluish' background on loading to say...white, add this to the compiler arguments: -default-background-color #ffffff.
