Get ForegroundBrush of not currently loaded theme

[jgh07]

Is there a way to get the ForegroundBrush of the not currently loaded theme (would be black in dark mode and white in light mode) in Xaml?

You could try to load the correct ResourceDictionary and get the brush from it.

Something like this:

var colorScheme = new ResourceDictionary();
colorScheme.Source =
        new Uri("pack://application:,,,/AdonisUI;component/ColorSchemes/Light.xaml",
                UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
var foreground = colorScheme[Brushes.ForegroundBrush] as Brush;

I did not test this code so it might not work exactly like this. (Source)

Is there a way to do this directly in XAML?

You could wrap this code in some custom dependency property and use it in XAML.
