Setting RequestedTheme on telerik controls

[David]

My application is build using Windows Template Studio, which supports runtime toggle of the requested theme from light to dark.

All standard controls adhere to the changed theme. But Telerik controls seem not to. I have tried to set the RequestedTheme of the Telerik controls directly when the page is loaded, but the property seems to be ignored. They only seem to use the RequestedTheme that is set when the application is initially loaded

Hello, David,

The issue seems related to a bug which was introduced in the UWP technology itself with the Creators update. Here is how the story developed and more information on the matter - https://github.com/telerik/UI-For-UWP/issues/147. Unfortunately, as the issue was introduced in the platform itself, there is not much we can do regarding the behavior which is present only with that version of Windows. If you are using a newer one, you should not experience any issues with the theming mechanism.

Have a great week.
