An input control will 'dim' it's background color when IsReadOnly is set to true. This, unfortunately, have the undesired side effect of turning some lighter colors gray. Is there a means of setting the 'read-only' background color without it being altered by the control when the control is read only?

Hello Chad,
If we have understood you correctly, you want to change the background color of the mask when the IsReadOnly property is set to true. If this is the case, you can extract and edit the default template of the control. In the extracted template, you can navigate to a VisualState with and set your custom color. If we are in the wrong direction you can elaborate more on what exactly you are trying to achieve in your application. You can send us pictures with the desired result. This way we can better understand your approach.

Hi & thanks Dinko,
That's it, now I just wish there was a global/theme way of altering that brush color for all the controls at once.

Hi Chad,
Currently, only the Office2016 and Green themes provide a property which you can use to change the global ReadOnly background color for all controls.

public MainWindow(){ InitializeComponent(); Office2016Palette.Palette.ReadOnlyBackgroundColor = Color.FromRgb(255,0,0); // or GreenPalette.Palette.ReadOnlyBackgroundColor = Color.FromRgb(255, 0, 0);}Regards,

Hello Константин,
An approach which you could try is to extract the default template of the control. In the extracted style you can remove VisualState with x:Name="ReadOnly". Then you can create a style based on the extracted one where you can set the DataTrigger and depending on the property to set the Background property of the control.
For your convenience, we have created sample project which demonstrates the approach mentioned above. Give this project a try and let us know if it works for you.
