make RegionColor automatic

[touseefbsb]

Lastly, don’t forget to set the background color of your page to the RegionColor that you picked for your theme. It’s the only brush that won’t get set automatically.

above statement in ReadMe, clearly indicates that RegionColor and I guess also RegionBrush are 2 resource which do not automatically applied to the app, which makes sense because these 2 names are not in SystemResources, I wanted to ask can this be fixed? I mean can the name be swapped with a resource name which i automatically applied from ThemeResource ? or more specifically what is the reason of this particular issue that this resource is named in such a way that it has to be manually applied?

The reason we have a separate brush that's created (essentially just for your background) is because the ColorPaletteResources API can be scoped to just a grid container or control. Thus you may have multiple regions/themes (and ColorPaletteResources) defined on a single page with different backgrounds. Since there is no default brush for a Grid or Stackpanel, we define one for you to start with and called it the RegionColor.

If you only intend to use one theme on your page, you could just swap out the ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush for the RegionBrushes values.

To make it more automatic would require integrating it with something like Template Studio which uses the Region Colour instead of the system default brushes.

Or require a platform change where the Windows UWP team make RegionColor a thing within the system resources, and brushes that paint backgrounds be changed to use them.

For now, you just apply RegionColor as a resource to the control/page you want to use it on.
