Hello dadarara,

Thanks for your post.

If NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.GeneralOptions.Skin is not what you are looking for, please provide us with a brief explanation detailing what exactly you are looking to access the brush color of and what exactly you are trying to accomplish so we may accurately assist you.

Are you trying to access the brush color of a specific item in a NinjaTrader Skin Blueprint.xml file?

We look forward to assisting further.

I though i did provide brief explanation.
I need to know the background color of the main application. let say the main control window. this will allow me to set the color of my text .

Hello dadarara,

Thanks for your notes.

This would go outside the scope of support we would be able to provide you with in the NinjaTrader Support department.

If you would like to get the Chart background you could try using the ChartControl.Properties.ChartBackground property to see if it suits your use case.

ChartControl.Properties - https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/chartcontrol_properties.htm

The forum thread will be open for other community members to share their insights on possible unsupported code you could try using to accomplish this.

maybe you can just tell me the name of the resource I need to search for, in the command bellow?

System.Windows.Application.Current.TryFindResource ("???????????? ") as SolidColorBrush ?? new SolidColorBrush(Brushes.Purple.Color);

it is after all ninjatrader application resource ? isn't it ?

Hello dadarara,

Thanks for your notes.

It seems that you may want BackgroundMainWindow or WindowBottomGradientStopColor.

The background for the Control Center is WindowBottomGradientStopColor.

Please let us know if we may assist further.

Hello dadarara,

Thanks for your notes.

There are no supported NinjaScript methods/properties for getting the main background color of the NinjaTrader application and doing so would go outside the scope of support we would be able to provide you with.
