Q:

How to set the default color theme of an app in Windows Phone 7?

Is it possible to set the default color of an application?
The problem is I have custom backgrounds in my app. If I have the white theme selected it looks nice. When I select the dark theme I cannot read it.
Is there a way to set it for the whole application e.g. that it should be white, whatever the phone default theme is?

A:

Just define your own color resources and use them on your elements where necessary. Here is an example how to do this. Defining one "default color" for the whole application is not possible as far as I know. It would be a rather obscure setting. Maybe property value inheritance comes close to what you mean.
By the way: please don't design overly bright applications which ignore my dark theme. It hurts my eyes.
