Hello,

I use the Metro Light theme and tint it with green:

ThemeManager.BeginUpdate();

ThemesMetroThemeCatalogRegistrar.Register();
Color hks52 = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 133, 120); //green Color
ThemeManager.RegisterThemeCatalog(new TintedThemeCatalog("MyTheme", ThemeName.MetroLight.ToString(), hks52));
ThemeManager.CurrentTheme = "MyTheme";
ThemeManager.AreNativeThemesEnabled = true;
ThemeManager.EndUpdate();

 

All work fine, but the active Tab of the DocumentHost has still the color blue.

When the document host don't have the focus. The tab color is ok (then it's light green).

Also the move over color for the tab is green.

What is here the problem?

How can I fix this?

Thank you for your answer.

In works with a additional line:

 

ThemeManager.BeginUpdate();
ThemesMetroThemeCatalogRegistrar.Register();
Color hks52 = Color.FromArgb(255, 0, 133, 120);
var myThemeCatalog = new TintedThemeCatalog("MyTheme", ThemeName.MetroLight.ToString(), hks52);
myThemeCatalog.TintGroups.AddRange(TintGroupSets.All, hks52); //additional line
ThemeManager.RegisterThemeCatalog(myThemeCatalog);
ThemeManager.CurrentTheme = "MyTheme";
ThemeManager.AreNativeThemesEnabled = true;
ThemeManager.EndUpdate();

Hello,

Yes, I believe that brush is designed to be excluded from tinting, along with other state-related brushes.  While you could do what you did, that will tint all the state brushes in UI which could be a negative side effect.

If you only want to affect the one, you could override the AssetResourceKeys.TabbedMdiContainerTabItemBackgroundActiveSelectedBrushKey resource brush at any time in your App's Resources.
