I have a WPF application that I am developing that allows the user to switch the current theme. I figured out how to switch themes ... but it seems that the theme of the application is independent of the theme:

(I combined three shots to save space)
How can i fix this? It clearly shows here that the background should change ...
Here is the code I'm using:
MainWindow.xaml:
<Window x:Class="GDE.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" MinWidth="525" MinHeight="350">
<Grid>
....
</Grid>
</Window>
App.xaml:
<Application x:Class="GDE.App"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
StartupUri="MainWindow.xaml">
<Application.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary x:Name="ThemeDictionary">
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="/Themes/ExpressionDark.xaml"/>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
</Application>
