Windows Phone has Theme Resources and WPF has Windows Themes. Has anyone found anything similar in Metro-style apps in Windows 8?
I believe that being able to use the colors selected by the user is critical for apps to be declared Metro-style. Is it just too early for this to be present in Windows 8 in the dev preview?
In Developer Preview, there is no way to dynamically retrieve the system theme resources from a Metro app. “Light and Dark Theme Xaml” MSDN sample contains a copy of the current theme that can be used in your app.
This is being evaluated, and may be changed in future releases to make things easier.
