WinRT & Light Theme

How can I set my XAML Metro application to use the light theme (as shown in VS 11 Beta Platform Dock) It defaults to the dark theme which I don't like

Thanks

You can also do this programatically by setting App.Current.RequestedTheme in the constructor of app.xaml.cs. Example::

    public App()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
        App.Current.RequestedTheme = ApplicationTheme.Light;
    }

Setting it at a later point in time throws an exception though. For more details: Blog post about this

You can set the theme in app.xaml like this:

<Application
    ..
    RequestedTheme="Light">
