How to force windows phone 8 app to be run in light theme

I have developed a windows phone application, i want that app to be run in light theme, irrespective of what user have set. means is there any way to set a default theme for the windows phone 8 app.

Solution

  • You can use Jeff Wilcox's ThemeManager

    Add it to your project (there is a NuGet package available) and call it from App() constructor.

    public App()
{
    // Global handler for uncaught exceptions.
    UnhandledException += Application_UnhandledException;

    // Standard Silverlight initialization
    InitializeComponent();

    // Phone-specific initialization
    InitializePhoneApplication();

    ThemeManager.ToLightTheme();

    // Other code that might be here already...
}

    You can find usage example on his website.
