title: Bing Maps SDK Dark Mode
body: <p>I have an app that is in two formats: Windows Phone 8.1 Silverlight, and Windows 8.1 RT. It uses the Bing Maps SDK and I'd like to be able to programatically (based on user-preference) toggle between light and dark mode. I can get it working on the Silverlight Version via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myMap.ColorMode = Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Controls.MapColorMode.Dark;
  myMap.ColorMode = Microsoft.Phone.Maps.Controls.MapColorMode.Light;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the <code>ColorMode</code> property isn't available on the Windows 8.1 RT version. The closest I can find is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>myMap.RequestedTheme = ElementTheme.Dark;
  myMap.RequestedTheme = ElementTheme.Light;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And this doesn't seem to do anything. Any help would be appreciated here.</p>
