Cursor color in PropertyGrid editors when dark theme is selected

Hi Erel,

Thanks for letting us know about this.  We've updated our code for the next build to resolve this.  We are adding this setter to several control Styles, including editors:TextBoxBase, editors:PartEditBox, editors.PartGroup, and editors:Part:

<Setter Property="editors:CaretLayer.CaretBrush" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.EditCaretBackgroundNormalBrushKey}}" />

We also are changing the default editors:CaretLayer.CaretOpacity property value to be 1.0 instead of 0.5.  The combination of these changes will match the caret appearance in other controls like our themes of TextBox and SyntaxEditor.

In the meantime before the next build, you could try to make those changes via implicit Styles in your app's Resources that target the types mentioned above.

Thank you. I'm quite new to WPF so I'm probably doing something wrong.

I've added this code to the window:

 <Window.Resources>
        <Style  TargetType="editors:PartEditBox">
            <Setter Property="editors:CaretLayer.CaretBrush" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.EditCaretBackgroundNormalBrushKey}}" />
        </Style>
        <Style  TargetType="editors:TextBoxBase">
            <Setter Property="editors:CaretLayer.CaretBrush" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.EditCaretBackgroundNormalBrushKey}}" />
        </Style>
        <Style TargetType="editors:Part">
            <Setter Property="editors:CaretLayer.CaretBrush" Value="{DynamicResource {x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.EditCaretBackgroundNormalBrushKey}}" />
        </Style>
    </Window.Resources>

 It doesn't seem to do anything.

I was able to solve it with a small modification to the source code.

I'm glad you got it going.  Note that there were two problems in our current official build, one was that I don't think the caret brush was getting applied to be different in dark themes, which the CaretBrush setters fix.  If you only do that (and if the implicit styles are taking effect), then you should at least see a light gray line instead of nothing.

The other thing is that you'd need to set the attached CaretOpacity property for each of those types to 1.0, which will make it full white instead of gray.
