Hi
I am using telerik watermarktextbox for a WPF application, I set windows 8 theme when application starts up, now I wanted to have the water mark text box to have my templated text with Segeo Font , italic and text color to be white. Both the text to be entered and the watermark content should be using Segoe WP Light , font size 10 and styled to be italic and text foreground color to be italic.
Unfortunately the water mark text does not apply this setting, however when i type some text they are according to the setting which i specified as Segoe WP Light , font size 10 , style to be italic.
Strange behavior is that if i change the textblock foreground to yellow for example then it works, why doesn't it work for white.
Please note that my background is black.
Let me know if its a bug or i am doing something incorrect.

Hi Sarvesh,
The issue occurs because inside the ControlTemplate of RadWatermarkTextBox is set Opacity=0.5 to the content control named WatermarkVisualElement. In order to have the white watermark you should remove the opacity.
I hope this helps.
