title: Can I change/"rebind" the default WinRT system brushes/palette colors to match my app?
body: <p>and would it be best practice to do it this way?</p>
  
  <p>So for instance, <code>HyperlinkPointerOverBrush</code> defines a dark blue/green and this is the default brush colour my app inherits for when your mouse/"finger" is hovered over a link. But can the colour assignment from dark blue/green easily be changed to something else?</p>
  
  <p>(Below illustrates the list of system brushes my app has reference to)

  <p>I tried setting <code>HyperlinkPointerOverBrush</code> to something different in my <code>App.xaml</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;SolidColorBrush x:Key="HyperlinkPointerOverBrush" Color="#FF0A2562"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>within my metro app, but to no avail; my links still stayed the default dark blue/green.</p>
  
  <p>Any thoughts on how I would approach this? and also best practices on defining your app's System Brushes aka. "Palette" you wish to use on Windows 8 Metro-style WinRT apps? (that's a mouthful)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
