Title says it all. I'd like to have dark screentips when the theme is dark. Can I achieve that easily?

PS. How do I attach a screenshot here?

Hi Alex,

ToolTips and ScreenTips will appear light in dark themes.  Without that, we found they didn't have enough contrast to stick out properly with the background of the application.

That being said, the theme generator is only generating three brush resources for tooltips:

  • AssetResourceKeys.ToolTipBackgroundNormalBrushKey
  • AssetResourceKeys.ToolTipBorderNormalBrushKey
  • AssetResourceKeys.ToolTipForegroundNormalBrushKey

You can override those brushes if you wish.

As for posting screenshots in the forum, I'm sorry but we don't support that at this time.
