transition animation background color

Question

I am using WP7 control toolkit transition animation in my app. My app's pages are all light blue in color but when the transition animation (say, turnstile) is used, during the animation, a black background shows up. How can I make this background during transition to be light blue?

Answer 1

I'm assuming your PhoneApplicationPage's have a Background of Blue. If that is the case, then open up App.xaml.cs and find the line that says:

RootFrame = new TransitionFrame();

Directly after that, place the following statement:

RootFrame.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Blue);

That should ensure that your app looks consistent during animations. You can see a full sample project here: http://wp7-developer.com/quick-tip/quick-tip-ensuring-the-background-color-remains-consistent-during-a-transition/
