Can TextBox selection be styled with a different font color?

Styling is a big feature of WPF. Surely it's possible to make a text box look exactly like the OS textbox?

I'm tired of the bleak desaturated color that the selection must have in order for the black text to be visible:

Is this fixable?

Solution

In .NET 4.8 you can now set the AppContext flag UseAdornerForTextboxSelectionRendering to false

<configuration>
    <runtime>
        <AppContextSwitchOverrides value="Switch.System.Windows.Controls.Text.UseAdornerForTextboxSelectionRendering=false"/>
    </runtime>
</configuration>

And then use the new property SelectionTextBrush to achieve this like

<TextBox Text="Test WPF TextBox"
         SelectionBrush="#1174E6"
         SelectionTextBrush="White"/>
