Overwrite Accent Color in App

问题

I try to create a own design for my app. One of the main things is, that I want to replace the accent color with my own color.

Now I can overwrite the brush with this:

<Color x:Key="AppAccentColor">#ff6b53</Color>

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PhoneAccentBrush" Color="{StaticResource AppAccentColor}"/>

Now if I assign the PhoneAccentBrush somewhere it displays the correct color. But if I click on a TextBox the Border is still the Color of the Color set in the system settings.

I tried to overwrite these colors as well for example with this:

<SolidColorBrush x:Key="PhoneTextBoxEditBorderBrush"
                         Color="{StaticResource AppAccentColor}" />

But this seems to have no effect.

Also I tried to create a new style and copied the one I found in the 8.1\Design[Theme]\System.Windows.xaml folder on the System. But here he doesn't find different Resources who are in the ThemeResources.xaml in the same folder. As soon as I import this as well he can't build anymore. What am I doing wrong ? o.O

Thanks NPadrutt

In Windows Phone 8.1 Runtime apps there is another way to override theme colors. You can do it in App.xaml file. Here's example of changing TextBox highlighted border color:

<Application.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
            <ResourceDictionary x:Key="Default">
                <SolidColorBrush x:Key="TextSelectionHighlightColorThemeBrush" Color="Magenta" />
            </ResourceDictionary>
        </ResourceDictionary.ThemeDictionaries>
    </ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>

And your TextBox will look like this:

As you can see in my solution, I used it for Default style. But you can have different options for Light and Dark style.
