#wp-thememanager
A Windows Phone library that allows for overriding the theme to be Dark, Light, Inverted, etc.
It also supports overriding the Accent color and brush for use in custom-branded applications. For fun, I've included the standard Mango accent brushes and a few of the custom ones (my Lumia 800 came from Germany and has a gray/'grau' color available, plus Nokia Blue, etc.). I'll accept any pull requests that add additional OEM colors if people think that would have any value in their applications at all.
For Windows Phone 7.5 (this library targets the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK)
Just call ThemeManager.ToLightTheme() or ThemeManager.ToDarkTheme() or ThemeManager.InvertTheme.
Although this isn't designed to handle custom themes, branding scenarios, etc., it wouldn't be too hard to add that support and I'd be interested in a simple, lightweight pull request in that case.
The applied resources only affect mostly chrome colors, foreground, background, but not the accent color.

Implementation created by Jeff Wilcox
A built assembly is also available on NuGet, PhoneThemeManager.
The binary is super easy to use. With NuGet just add the PhoneThemeManager package reference.
Instead of adding yet another assembly to your project, just add the single source file (or add it to your existing shared library, etc.) by using the PhoneThemeManager.Source package.
