For the live of me I cannot figure out how to get to a Brush from RibbonCommonDictionary.WindowBackgroundBrushKey in code (not XAML). I want to use it in a IValueConverter to set a button's background.

Hi Philipp,
Any FrameworkElement has FindResource and TryFindResource methods you can call. You pass a ResourceKey to those (like the value of RibbonCommonDictionary.WindowBackgroundBrushKey) and you get back the Brush. You need to cast to it of course. I'd recommend TryFindResource since it doesn't blow up if the resource isn't found.
Also Application has those two methods as well. As long as you set ThemeManager.CurrentTheme, instead of setting themes at a Window level for instance, I believe calls to Application.TryFindResource will work as well.
