Menu
I develop the Visual Studio package with a tool window. The UI of the tool window is based on WPF. In my user control I want to use current Visual Studio theme colors corresponding to the VS design.
Therefore my question is how I can find out that Visual Studio theme color has been changed?
Thanks in advance.

Here's how to change it to a different color theme. On the menu bar, select Tools > Options. In the options list, select Environment > General. In the Color theme list, choose between the default Dark theme, the Blue theme, the Blue (Extra Contrast) theme, and the Light theme.
Visual Studio themes Users are prompted to select a theme during their first use of Visual Studio and are able to switch themes later by going to Tools > Options > Environment > General and choosing a new theme from the "color theme" drop-down menu.
Dark (best colors for minimized eye strain)🌃 Neon ~ (for Cyberpunk Lovers) 😉 Sunset Red (Red is soothing for eyes and helps to sleep better) 🌇 Night Owl (inspired by Sarah Drasner's Night Owl Theme)🦉
I've found another way to do it. I can use visual studio theme colors resources from xaml directly. For example:
Background="{DynamicResource {x:Static vsfx:VsBrushes.ToolWindowBackgroundKey}}"
where vsfx is
xmlns:vsfx="clr-namespace:Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell;assembly=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.10.0"
This approach solved this problem!

If you want to detect the theme change event itself, you can make use of the VSColorTheme.ThemeChanged static event.
