title: Windows Phone 7 - Silverlight Checkmark color
body: <p>Can anyone tell me how I can change the color of my checkmark for a checkbox in Silverlight for Windows Phone 7 development?</p>
  
  <p>I see some references on the web for changing a template but that is more for WPF or SilverLight apps, not WP7.</p>
  
  <p>Right now I have a white background on my stackpanel and my background for my checkboxes are black.  It would be sweet to make the checkmark white.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>I should mention that I'm creating these checkboxes in the code behind (via a loop), and I'm using VS 2010 for my phone app development.</p>
  
  <p><strong>The Answer:</strong></p>
  
  <p>Thanks to Mick who lead me down the right path.  I had to fiddle with it a little but I used MS Blend to create my own style and then I copied the XAML from there and put that style XAML in the App.xaml in between the  tags. </p>
  
  <p>Then I applied it in my code behind like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code>chk.Style = (Style)Application.Current.Resources["CheckBoxStyle1"];
  </code></pre>
