I'm developing a Windows Store app using the "Dark" theme, which works fine for the main body of the app. However, for the settings flyout, I want to match the appearance of the system-provided "Permissions" flyout, which is to say, black on white.
Unfortunately, that's rather hard to set for every control with the Dark theme in operation.
Is there a way to use the "Light" theme, overriding the application default, for the UserControl I'm using for my settings pane, or is the only way to to do this to copy all the relevant chunks of the theme file for it into the resources of the UserControl?
I had this exact same problem - using the dark theme, and also using a light background for the settings flyout. The research that I did didn't turn up anything either. I ended up having to style my controls so that they would appear properly on the light settings flyout.
One other thought that I had was this, although I didn't go down this path - to use the light theme as the default, but change my app styling so that the main elements would appear dark. This would mean that the flyout controls would not have to be restyled. I guess it depends on how many controls you are using, and which path is easier.
If you go down the 2nd path, your app obviously loses the ability to change themes on the fly.

Is there any way to change the color of the auto-completion menu in ZeroBrane (v1.90)?
I have tried all the Tomorrow themes but it seems that the auto-completion menu in all of them is dark text on dark blur background. That does not fit my eyes at all, I cannot read what is highlighted.
This doesn't seem to be possible, as this is the only window controlled by Scintilla (an editor component used in the IDE) that doesn't provide a method to change its colors. See this discussion for details (this is related to Notepad++, but it's using the same editor component).
It may be possible to change by switching the color scheme in the OS or the window manager.
For my UWP app, I want to override the default theme of the background color of the screen around the content dialog when it opens. I tried doing what's mentioned in this answer but it didn't work for me: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32159659/2858235
My OS build # is 10586. I read somewhere that this solution is no more working for builds equal and above 10586. Is there any solution?
For me, my SDK version is 14393 (Anniversary) and the SolidColorBrush resource to override is SystemControlPageBackgroundMediumAltMediumBrush (that's a mouthful!).
I'm creating a windows 10 xaml app. One of the views contains a webview which fetches some html.
My problem is that although the default theme on the app is set to dark, the scrollbar in the webview is always light, which jars against the rest of the UI.
I've tried setting the RequestedTheme=dark on the webview, but no joy
Unfortunately this isn't possible since the WebView is based off of Edge and Edge doesn't currently support it, as you can see here. If Edge gets this feature, you could simply insert a STYLE into your head element to define the color.
Do you know anyway to change the style and theme of a scroll bar in a vb.net application? I need code or program that changes all scroll bars of the form.
I've been searching the web and found programs to change color of scroll bar but they were mostly designed for websites and written in CSS or JavaScript code. I would be so thankful if you have a solution for it.
Thanks
There isn't any property or feature to change the style of scrollbar of WinForm control. You should have to choose WPF instead of WinForm.
I designed a web app for iPhone and am now trying my hands at a native Objective-C version, and I'd like to retain some continuity with my original design. Since my web version uses CSS, I was able to customize the color palette, even though the UI was designed to imitate a native iPhone UI. I'd like to use a similar color scheme for my native app, but it doesn't seem so easy out of the box. I've gone through a couple tutorials and played around a bit with Interface Builder, inspecting the individual settings available for each control. My biggest questions are:
Is it possible to (or how do I) change the color of a Round Rect Button?
Is it possible to (or how do I) change the color of cells in a Table View?
Where in the Cocoa Touch Library can I find the standard iOS UI buttons, e.g. the green "Call Back" and red "Delete" buttons in the native voice mail?
Thanks
Nope, I don't think so. And you probably shouldn't anyways. In my opinion it's better to rather stay consistent with the OS and not the web... What you can do is to use a custom image.
UITableViewCell has a property named backgroundView, which is only present if you have a grouped style. This view has -- just like every other view -- a background color. If you don't have this and want to color individual cells, build a custom cell where you put in a view as background view.
As far as I know, they are not publicly available. However, you may find a lot of template images etc on the web that you can use.
