WP7 How to change the ellipses color in the application bar?

I have an app bar with custom colors to match the page color of our application. I have managed to get the images and app bar itself to the colors I want, but not the ellipses at the top right. I have set the background color to white and the foreground color to blue. In expression blend, it looks like the ellipses are set to blue, but when I run the app, they are white (same color as the app bar background) and basically invisible. Is there a way to change the color of the ellipses?

Solution

  • Not sure why it does not work for you but following code in sample application worked for me:

    <shell:ApplicationBar IsVisible="True"
                      IsMenuEnabled="True" 
                      ForegroundColor="Orange">

    I created a new PivotApplication project for Windows Phone. In a new page, I added ForegroundColor property to application bar and it worked.
