title: Setting colour of application bar in C#
body: <p>I define my ApplicationBar in code like that:</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void BuildApplicationBar()
          {
              // Set the page's ApplicationBar to a new instance of ApplicationBar.
              ApplicationBar = new ApplicationBar();
              ApplicationBar.Opacity = 0.8;
              ApplicationBar.ForegroundColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 138, 204, 34);
  
  
              // Create a new button and set the text value to the localized string from AppResources.
              ApplicationBarIconButton CheckInExitAppBarButton = new ApplicationBarIconButton(new Uri("icons/check_in.png", UriKind.Relative));
              CheckInExitAppBarButton.Text = AppResource.CheckInExit;
              ApplicationBar.Buttons.Add(CheckInExitAppBarButton);
              CheckInExitAppBarButton.Click += new EventHandler(CheckInExitAppBarButton_Click);
  
          }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Atfer that I can see that color of icons changed, but I can't see text under them. When I do this without ApplicationBar.Color I can see both icon + text but in white which doesn't interest me</p>
