Named Brushes

[Enrico]

Hi,

I am trying to change the colors of the RadialMenu for a Windows 8.1 xaml project. Unfortunately, it is not working.

What I did:
1. added ResourceDictionary "TelerikNamedBrushes.xaml"

2. defined following brushes inside that ResourceDictionary:
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuButtonBorderBrush" Color="#FF516987" />
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuButtonForegroundBrush" Color="#FF516987" />
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuContentMenuBorderBrush" Color="#FF516987" />
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuIconForegroundBrush" Color="#FF516987" />
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuNavigationButtonBackgroundBrush" Color="#FF516987" />
     <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TelerikRadialMenuNavigationMenuBorderBrush" Color="#FF516987" />

3. Referenced the ResourceDictionary inside App.xaml:
    <controls:UserThemeResources x:Key="MyResources" DarkResourcesPath="ms-appx:///Assets/Styles/TelerikNamedBrushes.xaml" />

4. Set the theme of the control to dark:
    <primitives:RadRadialMenu x:Name="MainRadialMenu" RequestedTheme="Dark">


In the debugger I can see that this control has Dark as value for the RequestedTheme, but it won't use my defined brushes from the ResourceDictionary.
What am I missing?

Cheers,
Enrico

To give some additional information.
My specified colors actually do work in the VS designer during design time, but not at runtime. I have not specified these brushes at another position anywhere else in my solution. What could be the reason for this discrepancy between design and runtime?

Hello Enrico,

Thank you for contacting us.

Unfortunately, I could not reproduce the problem on my side. I have attached a sample application that I created following your steps and everything seems to work as expected. Could you please take a look and see if there are any differences in your setup?

I look forward to your reply.
