Set Checkbox Pressed Background Color Windows Phone 8 in C#

How can I universally set the color of a checkbox/radiobutton throughout my app?

I am able to change the accent color like so 

            (App.Current.Resources["PhoneAccentBrush"] as SolidColorBrush).Color = System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 162, 0, 37);

But it is not applied to the checkboxes, radiobuttons, when pressed. I tried

            App.Current.Resources["CheckBoxPressedBackgroundThemeBrush"] = System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 162, 0, 37);

            App.Current.Resources["PhoneRadioCheckBoxPressedColor"] = System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 162, 0, 37);

Both these return a not implemented exception.

  • You can change color of SolidColorBrush in code

    (App.Current.Resources["PhoneRadioCheckBoxCheckBrush"] as SolidColorBrush).Color = System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255,

    162, 0, 37);

    (App.Current.Resources["PhoneRadioCheckBoxPressedBrush"] as SolidColorBrush).Color = System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255,

    162, 0, 37);

  • you can also make implicit style and put it in App.xaml resources and it will be applied to all instances of this control (except when you refer in some control to explicit style)

    For example: Right Click on RadioButton Edit template Edit a copy choose Define in Application choose Apply to all

    Change colors based on your scenario.

you can use Isolated Settings

Application.Current.IsolatedSetings.Add("YOur Key",System.Windows.Media.Color.FromArgb(255, 162, 0, 37).ToString())

AND USE WHEN NEEDED

VIA

var color = Application.Current.IsolatedSetings["Your Key"]
