iPhone device theme is Dark. So my app theme getting some changes because of this. Can i prevent this dark mode in my app? if yes How?
Add this code to your info.plist
<key>UIUserInterfaceStyle</key>
<string>Light</string>
The game is on Default color.
In Light theme Default color is White.
On the other hand, In dark theme Default color is Black.
Now we can make our app's appearance as device's theme.

I just installed the "Darkest Dark Theme" for Eclipse, which uses DevStyle. It works great, except the title bar at the top of the window is bright white.
Here's an example.
How can I change the color of Eclipse's title bar in Windows?
You should change your windows theme.
This part of the window is under windows responsibility and not the program.
Instruction to change to dark theme
I don't think that is any theme available for that feature in eclipse as most themes focus on the menubar and coding area look&feel. Try changing your windows theme if necessary.
I want to app background to black only so i put black background image to all the pages grids..
now the problem is when phone is running on dark theme everything is perfect but if it is running on light theme then all the things (most of them) are invisible now because when there is light theme phone changes the colors to go dark & because of black background its invisible
so I set the manual colors to all the things which makes most of the things visible now but still when i click on textbox it gets dark
is there any solution where i can keep my black background & still have everything visible in light theme?
You can use Jeff Wilcox theme manager or otherwise you will need to edit the Style of all the control yourself to force the Dark theme colors.
If you want to edit all the Style manually, you can retrieve all the Black them colors from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Design\DarkBlue\ThemeResources.xaml and add them to your project App.xaml.
I am forcing my application only to be in light theme this means even if you select the dark theme from phone settings, you can not see the dark theme. I am pragmatically finding the theme and changing all the styles in to white theme.
I want my UI in white theme, all the controls, popup, etc will be in white theme.
I am using the PhoneCallTask, the popup is coming up as usual but in dark theme it is showing the black popup, i want the popup color as white color even though dark theme is selected.
There is nothing you can do about it. You can force your app to use the white theme, but you cannot for the system "parts" to do so, not even the keyboard.
How does exactly work themes switching in application? What if I override the default styles? Can I also define different styles for light and dark themes separately? Why the icons colos get changed - i.e. the black background of icons changes into white if the theme is set to Dark. Will it also be changed to white if I override the background style of application bar to white explicitly? How can I make sure nothing gets changed and my app looks the same in Light and Dark themes?

I personally use PhoneThemeManager from Jeff Wilcox for theme overriding works!
Of course, it is better to have the same UX across all the Windows Phone application when it comes to light/dark theme support, but I agree that sometimes it is really needed to override the theme.
You can probably find more information in this thread: How to override WindowsPhone dark theme by light
and also previously I was using this tutorial to customize light and dark themes:

Everytime WP emulator starts,it has dark theme with red color. I prefer it to have light theme and lime color.
Is there any way i can make those changes permanent so that next time emulator starts, it picks up what settings i want.
Sadly there is no way to make it persist settings.
However, you should use the dark theme as default, and then test with the white theme from time to time, since that best represents the consumers.
