Tweak a tinted theme - WPF Studio, Themes, and Shared Library for WPF Forum

I'm using one of the predefined themes, but I apply some tint to it.
What's the easiest way to prevent disabled text from being tinted?
I would like to use SystemColors.GrayTextColor for all disabled text.

Hi Ralph,

You might need to explicitly redefine the brushes in Application.Resources that are used for disabled text rendering, like this:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.ControlForegroundDisabledBrushKey}" Color="#6D6D6D" />

That shows how to override any resource brush (like the tinted ones) coming from our theme.

It didn't work for me as I was applying the tinted theme only to the Ribbon, not to the entire application.

What worked for me was overriding AssetResourceKeys in the Ribbon resources:

<ribbon:Ribbon>
    <ribbon:Ribbon.Resources>
        <SolidColorBrush x:Key="{x:Static themes:AssetResourceKeys.ToolBarButtonForegroundDisabledBrushKey}" Color="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.GrayTextColorKey}}" />
    </ribbon:Ribbon.Resources>

    <!-- STUFF -->

</ribbon:Ribbon>

The latest build of this product (v24.1.1) was released 2 months ago, which was after the last post in this thread.
