问题:

I have developed a windows phone application, i want that app to be run in light theme, irrespective of what user have set. means is there any way to set a default theme for the windows phone 8 app.

回答1:

You can use Jeff Wilcox's ThemeManager

Add it to your project (there is a NuGet package available) and call it from App() constructor.

public App()
{
    // Global handler for uncaught exceptions.
    UnhandledException += Application_UnhandledException;

    // Standard Silverlight initialization
    InitializeComponent();

    // Phone-specific initialization
    InitializePhoneApplication();

    ThemeManager.ToLightTheme();

    // Other code that might be here already...
}

You can find usage example on his website.

For Windows phone 8.1 you can use:

<Application
    x:Class="App26.App"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    RequestedTheme="Light"
    xmlns:local="using:App26">
</Application>

Or

public App()
    {
        this.RequestedTheme = ApplicationTheme.Light;

        this.InitializeComponent();
        this.Suspending += this.OnSuspending;
    }

Answer

When the UI is designed specially for the dark theme it won't look well on the light theme, or vice versa.

To prevent this the application can force the default dark or light theme.

In the application class' constructor put this code to force the dark theme:

if ((Visibility)Application.Current.Resources["PhoneLightThemeVisibility"] == Visibility.Visible) MergeCustomColors("/Themes/DarkStyles.xaml");

Or this code to force the light theme:

if ((Visibility)Application.Current.Resources["PhoneDarkThemeVisibility"] == Visibility.Visible) MergeCustomColors("/Themes/LightStyles.xaml");

Anywhere in your project put this method:

private void MergeCustomColors(String Theme)
{
    ResourceDictionary Dictionaries = new ResourceDictionary();
    String source = String.Format(Theme);
    var themeStyles = new ResourceDictionary { Source = new Uri(source, UriKind.Relative) };
    Dictionaries.MergedDictionaries.Add(themeStyles);
    ResourceDictionary appResources = Current.Resources;
    foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in Dictionaries.MergedDictionaries[0])
    {
        SolidColorBrush ColorBrush = entry.Value as SolidColorBrush;
        SolidColorBrush ExistingBrush = appResources[entry.Key] as SolidColorBrush;
        if (ExistingBrush != null && ColorBrush != null) { ExistingBrush.Color = ColorBrush.Color; }
    }
}

The code assumes that the projects contains the files DarkStyles.xaml and LightStyles.xaml in a folder named Themes.

Call this method in your app constructor

private void LightTheme()
    {
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneRadioCheckBoxCheckBrush"]).Color = ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneRadioCheckBoxBorderBrush"]).Color = ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneForegroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xDE, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneBackgroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneContrastForegroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);

        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneTextBoxReadOnlyBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x2E, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneSubtleBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x66, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneTextBoxSelectionForegroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneButtonBasePressedForegroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneTextHighContrastBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xDE, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneTextMidContrastBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x73, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneTextLowContrastBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x40, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneSemitransparentBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xAA, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF);

        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneInactiveBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x33, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneInverseInactiveBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xE5, 0xE5, 0xE5);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneInverseBackgroundBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0xDD, 0xDD, 0xDD);
        ((SolidColorBrush)Resources["PhoneBorderBrush"]).Color = Color.FromArgb(0x99, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
