title: Styling TextBox/PasswordBox in XAML
body: <p>I've been wondering if there is a simpler way to change just one attribute then restyling the whole ControlTemplate in Windows Phone 8.</p>
  
  <p>I recently found myself in need to change PasswordBox's background (the background shown when selected/typing into it) without changing anything else. I know there is the way of recreating the whole ControlTemplate (since it's HUGE for my taste and I'm getting a bit lost in it - I'm a rookie).</p>
  
  <p><strong>Are the other (preferably easier) options how to do it? If so, which?</strong></p>
  
  <p>The reason I'm asking is because I'm creating App that needs to look pretty much the same on Android, iOS and Windows Phone (android &amp; iOS apps are done by someone else, I'm working on WP App and the design is given).</p>
  
  <p>The App needs to look the same regardles of theme chosen by user on his phone.</p>
  
  <p>And since the text is white and in dark theme when writing into TextBox/PasswordBox, the background is also changed to white - the result being you can't see what you're typing.</p>

  <p><strong>Is it easier to change "Foreground-when-typing" or "background-when-typing"? How to do it without recreating the whole ControlTemplate?</strong> </p>
