Getting Colors for Use In Code Behind or ViewModel

[seikosantana]

I am working with a plotting library and I'm wondering if there's a way to get the color of the foreground text for current theme from viewmodel or code behind. I see that in XAML we could use Dynamic resource, but if i need to access the color manually?

Thanks in advance.

As far as i can remember, you can use TryFindResource or FindResource inside your window/usercontrol/etc. If you need an observable use GetResourceObservable.

Thanks. Probably unrelated, is there a way to determine if BaseTheme is Dark or Light either in code behind or XAML?

Yes.

var materialTheme = Application.Current.LocateMaterialTheme<MaterialTheme>();
materialTheme.BaseTheme // or
materialTheme.ActuatBaseTheme
