Hi!
I want to be able to change themes and am setting the Background of RadRichTextBox to a DynamicResource.
That works, but when I set the Foreground to a DynamicResource the color changes only on text changed.

I want the default Foreground to change automatically.

I've attached a project

Hello Dan,

To change the foreground color of the RadRichTextBox control as desired, when merging different resource dictionaries you can call its OnApplyTemplate method.

The following code snippet shows the modified MainWindow.xaml.cs file from the sample project that you provided:

public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    public MainWindow()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void CheckBox_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var app = (App)Application.Current;

        app.ChangeTheme(true);

        this.RadRichTextBoxOnApplyTemplate();
    }

    private void CheckBox_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        var app = (App)Application.Current;

        app.ChangeTheme(false);

        this.RadRichTextBoxOnApplyTemplate();
    }

    private void RadRichTextBoxOnApplyTemplate()
    {
        this.radRichTextBox.OnApplyTemplate();
    }
}

The produced result is as follows:

Could you give this suggestion a try?
