How to change the RadGlyph icons' color when changing the theme variation during runtime.

Solution

To have the RadGlyph icon reflect the change of the theme variation, you can use a GeometryDrawing object and bind it's brush's Color property to a specified color from the respective theme palette.

XAML

	<telerik:RadMenuItem.Icon>
		<Image Stretch="UniformToFill" Width="35" Height="20" Margin="2">
			<Image.Source>
				<DrawingImage>
					<DrawingImage.Drawing>
						<GeometryDrawing Geometry="{telerik:RadGlyph Type=Path, Glyph={StaticResource GlyphCs}}">
							<GeometryDrawing.Brush>
								<SolidColorBrush Color="{Binding Source={x:Static telerik:Office2019Palette.Palette}, Path=MainForegroundColor}" />
							</GeometryDrawing.Brush>
						</GeometryDrawing>
					</DrawingImage.Drawing>
				</DrawingImage>
			</Image.Source>
		</Image>
	</telerik:RadMenuItem.Icon>

The above example uses the Office2019Palette, but you can replace this with the palette for the theme(s) you're using.
