Description
Describe the bug
When using ApplicationAccentColorManager it seems it does not use the colour passed to it.
To Reproduce
- Create a brand new WPF application
- In MainWindow.xaml.cs
public MainWindow()
{
ApplicationAccentColorManager.Apply(
Color.FromRgb(25, 97, 55), // Green
ApplicationTheme.Light,
false
);
InitializeComponent();
}
- In MainWindow.xaml
<Window x:Class="WpfApp1.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

</ResourceDictionary>
</Window.Resources>
<StackPanel>
<CheckBox Content="Hello"></CheckBox>
<ui:Button Appearance="Primary" Content="Hello WPF!"></ui:Button>
</StackPanel>
</Window>
Checkbox when clicked is light blue, button even though set to primary is light blue, i would expect both to be green
Expected behavior
I would expect both the checkbox and the button to have the green colour i passed to the manager
