When switching to the style sheet I dug up from the WinRT resources, it won't fire at all, so I guess that is a dead-end. (Maybe I'll try to find the new Phone style Xaml and swap that with yours, but this WinRT was quite easy to find and I gave it a shot.)Zeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428527759831861106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2955246950758454841.post-62761447955049284842012-11-13T23:26:40.184+00:002012-11-13T23:26:40.184+00:00Hi there!

My problem is I can't get to work the overridden brushes on Windows Phone 8. Did you ran this on an earlier phone OS, or am I messing something up? <br /><br />Thank you!<br />ZeonZeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428527759831861106noreply@blogger.com
